BY HAL COTTRELL
Lonesome County is the self-titled debut project from the
winners of the 2006 Renfro Valley, Kentucky Bluegrass Band Contest. Although the
liner notes indicate that there are some original songs on the project, the
credits lack information as to who wrote which song. Despite the fact that there
are places that the timing and vocal mix waiver, this does not distract from the
overall recording quality. While the project is not perfect, it is a highly
professional effort and the original material is well constructed and executed.
This is a band that deserves to be listened to. Tracks include Light Blue
Gingham Gown, Don’t Hold Me Down, Lonesome County Line, Darling Pal Of Mine,
West Virginia Coal Mining Man, In Despair, Fool’s Conversation, Your Love Is
Like A Flower and more. BMP
