Free Music Notes for Where'd You Come From Where'd You Go?
Free Music Review: totally worth it
Hit: 5 Stars
I can vouch for what the other reviewers have written: this is a totally fantastic disc. I'm a big fan of this kind of music and this is as good as it gets. A banjo playing friend of mine told me that the Freighthoppers got so good because they were hired by a railroad company to play for its employees. Whether that's true or not, it adds to the lore and the band certainly sound like they've been playing for railroad folks. The band is really tight and the music has a strong energy. So buy it already!
Where'd You Come From Where'd You Go? Poster
The Freight Hoppers' second album, Where'd You Come From, Where'd You Go, is exhilarating in its sense of too many things happening at once and yet managing to cohere. You wouldn't expect an all-acoustic, drummer-less band to produce rocking, high-energy music, but that's just what this quartet from the Smokey Mountains does. Two Appalachian natives (banjoist/singer Frank Lee and guitarist/singer Cary Fridley) coupled up with two outsiders (Cleveland fiddler David Bass and Danish bassist Hanne J?rgensen) to create a band that knocks the dust off the tradition and pushes it at a relentless pace. Most of the material comes from such old-time legends as Tommy Jarrell, Uncle Dave Macon, Fiddlin' John Carson, Clarence Ashley, the Coon Creek Girls, and Doc Watson, but the Freight Hoppers claim it as their own. --Geoffrey HimesCountry Music CDs
