Details:
The Wildcat Road Ramblers are one of the very top groups that perform old time Southern music at the Ozark Folk Center in Mountain View, Arkansas, deep in the Ozark hills.
Their music encompasses everything: from the haunting vocal/fiddle ballads (Pretty Saro, Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie); to the driving excitement of raucous stringband tunes (We'll Die in the Pig Pen Fighting, Got a Little Home to go to, Ain't got Trouble in Mind, Elkhorn Ridge, Johnson Boys); a Carter Family song (A Distant Land to Roam); fiddle tunes of the mid-south (Little Whiskey/Jump in the Well Pretty Little Miss, Going Across the Sea/Jim Lane, Valley Forge); love ballads (A-Rovin' on a Winter's Night - from Doc Watson, The Blackest Crow, Wait till the Clouds Roll by, Jenny); angry songs (44 Gun, I Truly Understand); a song from Charlie Poole (Leaving Home); a drinking song (Rye Whiskey); a medley of two old time songs (Train on the Island); and an old Scottish slow air (Dark Island).
The songs and tunes on their new CD, "Trouble", tell in different ways about the problems and joys in Life that we all share. Kathy (on banjo & guitar) and DeeAnn (on fiddle) have both performed since childhood, and the product of these years of stage life and musical expertise is a real pleasure to hear, along with their outstanding vocal harmony and excellent choice of material.
