Search - Greg Hawks :: Coming Home

Greg Hawks pays homage to his Blue Ridge Mountain roots in his new album, Coming Home, with 14 songs of hard-driving bluegrass, soulful country singing, and thoughtful songwriting. Hawks versatile harmonies blend seamlessly with banjo, fiddle, guitar, pedal steel, and mandolin to tell stories of love, loss, faith, and redemption. While Coming Home has a distinctly modern sound, it is firmly rooted in Brothers-style mountain harmony (think Louvins, Osbornes, Stanleys, and Jim and Jesse); straight-ahead bluegrass (think Jimmy Martin, Stanley Brothers, and J.D. Crowe); and real country (think Merle, Hank, Lefty, and Jones). Along with 11 originals, Hawks offers a lively version of the fiddle tune Temperance Reel and completes the record with a vocal quartet of the gospel Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me, and an original instrumental, There You Go.
