Authentic bluegrass

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Not slick. Not overproduced. Just authentic homegrown bluegrass in the best tradition of mountain music. The CD (at least the one I have) contains a jam-packed 21 tracks. The artists' proceeds all go to the American Cancer Society in honor of their friend, National Fiddle Champion Randy Howard who lends his talents to many of the tracks. Sadly, Randy lost his battle with cancer in 1999 at the young age of 38.

Favorite tracks:

1. Old Roads

2. Dear Mama

3. The Reckoning Time

4. Daddy's Swimming Hole

5. Southern Skies
