The good folks with the Great Smoky Mountains Association have released a video preview of their third and most recent album of the traditional mountain music of the region.
On Top Of Old Smoky – New Old Time Smoky Mountain Music includes 23 old songs and tunes reinterpreted by more than a dozen top old timey musicians. These newly-made recordings are all of songs originally collected by folklorist Joseph Hall when he traveled through the Smokies during the 1930s, and again in the ’50s.
Artists who appear on the record include Dolly Parton, Norman Blake, Bryan Sutton, Alice Gerrard, Tony Trischka, Stephen Wade, Sheila Kay Adams, Martin Simpson, Dom Flemons, Jody Stecher, Kate Brislin, Courtney Hartman, and David Holt.
Have a look and listen to the video for a taste of what the CD contains.
On Top Of Old Smoky – New Old Time Smoky Mountain Music is only available directly from Great Smoky Mountains Association online.
