Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing to act as a vital counterpoint to commercial country, the Louisville collective recorded their fifth album entirely on a vintage 8-track tape machine. The resulting record is an unpolished, incredibly authentic tribute to the Carter Family and Appalachian folk, relying entirely on raw acoustic instrumentation and striking, intertwining vocal harmonies.
