Call it country, bluegrass, old-timey, or even Appalachian soul. Whatever the label, the voices of Hazel Dickens, Carol Elizabeth Jones, and Ginny Hawker take you straight to the heart of American mountain music. In duet and trio settings with spare bluegrass instrumental backing, the three women cover a repertoire that ranges from a Civil War ballad to an obscure Woody Guthrie love song, plus plenty of Stanley Brothers-style gospel and some fine original songs by Dickens and Jones. This is a stirring album that reveals the depth, beauty, and raw power of simple song.
