Watch "Focal Point Presents The Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee" on YouTube.

Sorry, new here and still struggling with links

Cheers

Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cNXRs6dBxE

They also have a great album recorded live at WPAQ (link), a radio station out of Mt. Airy, NC I used to listen to fairly often.

I wasn't previously familiar with the group, thanks for sharing.

I'm hearing those "Ancient Tones". Good stuff.

Got a couple of favourites: Just My Heart, Highway of Sorrows. But they're all good. Andrew can really give it some.

That fiddler really gets after it and I also like the mandolin crosspicking on East Virginia, among other things. I also like that the playing and singing is not as precise as a lot of the BG you hear now, it's reminiscent of Monroe and the first generation.

I'd been watching it for weeks. It's good stuff.

Gillymor- yes, the fiddler doesn't hold back on Peacock Rag :)
