Mountain Boys, Part Four

While the mention of BBQ, string ties, open road Stetson hats, and Martha White flour invariably lead to one to muse on things of the high, blue, and lonesome ilk, there are two words that scream bluegrass louder than any others: Mountain Boys! And we’ll have a slew of them… from the Kentucky Mountain Boys to the Red Mountain Boys. PROGRAM PLAYLIST
