"From the fertile valley of Deer Lick Holler,
deep in the heart of Appalachia, comes a sound that
is old yet new. In an area completely isolated from
outside cultural and musical influence, this band of
acoustic musicians grew up playing the traditional
music of their forefathers. Then, as fate would have
it, one crisp fall afternoon, a stranger passed
through the holler. Well, he almost made it through.
Unfortunately for him, but fortunately for
appreciators of great music worldwide, the stranger
crashed his car into a stately old oak tree at
Devil's Elbow Curve. Sadly, the stranger expired, but
his legacy lives on. For under the back seat of his
car, the boys found some old black vinyl records as
they went through his belongings looking for
identification. All they had to listen to them on was
an old Edison Victrola that only played at 78 R.P.M.,
but the boys all agreed it was some mighty fine
country music. So, in memory of the stranger who had
perished the boys set about learning these songs . .
