Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning to the religious material that profoundly shaped their Appalachian sound, the siblings deliver a poignant collection of acoustic sacred songs. The raw, high-lonesome vocal blending and driving banjo instrumentation reflect the deep cultural ties between early bluegrass and the musical traditions of rural Protestantism.
