Across The Blue Ridge #34 - Summer Listening Party

Our summer listening party continues this week with a tremendous selection of classic and new music from the mountains and beyond.  From Kentucky, old time fiddler Snake Chapman plays his beautiful “Old Joe” and bluegrass crooner Red Allen starts things off with “I'm On My Way Back To The Old Home”.  Virginia guitarist and singer Fields Ward provides a haunting rendition of “The Train That Carried My Girl From Town” while North Carolina's Tommy Jarrell chimes in with a jaunty love song, “Kittie Clyde”.  From newer generations we hear Zoe and Cloyd with their sparkling rendition of “Be Careful Girls”.  And The Skylighters, a new band composed of hot bluegrass stars, sing “See What Love Can Do” and “Carolina Star”.  There's more … from West Virginia honky tonk singer John Lilly  to Alan Jabbour with an antique fiddle tune from his mentor Henry Reed.
