Free Music Notes for Songs From the Mountain
Free Music Review: Love This Mountain Music!
Hit: 5 Stars
I am from the Appalachian foothills in eastern Kentucky, and love the mountains. The music on this CD reminds of music I heard while growing up in a small mining camp in the 1950s. The music is simple, raw, and emotional. It is the kind that you might have heard performed by a family or friends gathered on the porch at the end of a hard week's work. My favorite tunes are The Blackest Crow, Angel Band, When I Die I'll Live Again, Wayfarin' Stranger, and Bow Down. (My least favorite is Fair Margaret.) Several good instrumentals on here, as well.Free Music Review: A TREASURE - NOT TO BE MISSED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THIS MUSIC!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've grown up with this music, and I'd about thought I'd heard the best, until I heard this CD. Never did I expect to hear the special resonance that just about sent my teeth vibrating as I've heard on this CD. How many times can one hear, Poor Wayfairing Stranger, and still feel ones heart strings pulled. This one is SPECIAL. The first cut, Mountain Air, etc., was a special blend that truly rings to the mountains of the title. A TRULY SPECIAL addition to the special music of a special part of the planet. This one is a TREASURE!!!!Free Music Review: Great Old Time Music
Hit: 5 Stars
A great glimpse into the music of Appalachia at the time of the Civil War, this volume follows closely the music that was so much a part of the Cold Mountain story. Don't confuse this with the soundtrack--I love T-Bone Burnett but this is closer to the real thing. Mostly "old time" (before bluegrass) music, but with a little additional music of the time (like Stephen Foster's "Hard Times"). Great songs, great information, but most of all some of the finest playing and the finest musicianship I have heard.Free Music Review: SOME OTHER GREAT ALBUMS

I am a big fan of roots music. This album is a beautiful, captivating record that consistently delivers great music, song after song. If you enjoy this album and are looking for some similar great roots albums then I recommend the following:
1) Appalachian Stomp: Bluegrass Classics
2) Ain't No Grave: A Tribute To Traditional And Public Domain Songs
3) March 16-20 by Uncle Tupelo
4) Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs Of Stephen Foster
5) Every Sound Below by Tim Eriksen
Free Music Review: Another Great CD By Tim O'Brien
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a collection of old-time Appalachian/Mountain ballads. You will not find a bluegrass cut on this project. Tim O'Brien is an awesome performer of traditional music. I have seen him several times in concert. All songs are out-standing, and the two gospel numbers will bring shivers down your spine. (Especially Wayfaring Stranger-As close to true Appalachian singing that you will get-that high lonesome sound.)
