High Fidelity - Hills & Home [CD]

2018 release. Many folks remember the great bluegrass records from the 1950s and '60s. The power and soul of that music has won the hearts of people across the globe. Few bands have come along in recent years that directly draw their influence from that classic era of the music's history. High Fidelity is a rising group whose love and devotion to that music is unsurpassed. The name alone says it all: High Fidelity. How many record albums have you seen from the '50s and '60s that bear those words? Herein lies the heart of what this group of young performers is all about. To all but the most dyed-in-the-wool bluegrass and old-time music devotees, the music on the band's Rebel Records debut Hills and Home will come as a revelation. The group avoids the well-known war horses associated with the likes of Flatts & Scruggs, the Stanleys and the Monroes. Instead, the band mines gems from lesser known - but no less worthy - acts such as the Lilly Brothers & Don Stover, Wade Mainer, Jim & Jesse, and the Country Gentlemen.
