The Asheville Mountain Boys- S/T

The Asheville Mountain boys gather like congregants around a single microphone, their debut a fierce devotion to first-generation bluegrass orthodoxy with nasty flatpicking and fiddle sawing with nary a plug or pedal in sight to soften their raw howl of tradition. These Western NC pickers don't worship at the altar of The Bluegrass Album Band so much as channel their calloused spirit through vintage instruments worth more than your car, proving that in an age of infinite digital possibility, sometimes the most radical move is to plug nothing in at all.
