The Appalachian Mountains reach across the Eastern portion of the United States, from Georgia to deep into New England. A wide array of different musical types flourish in this region, including bluegrass, gospel and some styles of old-time folk music whose roots can be traced back to the British/Irish immigrants who settled here centuries back. This edition in the Rough Guide series presents a sampler of some of the diverse musical influences that call the Appalachian Mountain region home. Listeners can expect an exciting blend of fiddles, banjo, guitar, bass and country style vocals.
