In The Hills Of Carolina



Good time music can make a bring such bliss to your ears. Bluegrass for over a hundred years have been a pass time for many hillbilly's in the hills and woods of America. These people have lived off the land and many had to create entertainment themselves with such limited sources. Some picked up old moonshine jugs and began blowing on them at certain distances and created different hoot sounds which became a staple in a lot of the old time bluegrass sound. But the most recognizable instrument in bluegrass music has to be the banjo. For years has created a sound that has entertained people when there was nothing else around for miles and miles. For the past few decades bluegrass has stayed out of the commercial limelight besides a few notable names such as to name a few. Today a group named Old Crow Medicine Show, Allison Krauss, and Rickey Stagg to name a few. Today a group by the name of Carolina Chocolate Drops are setting the bluegrass field on fire with their rendition of bluegrass staples and their very own songs. Its a breath of fresh air to see groups like this bring new and beautiful music to the ears of millions. They are the heart of America and should be recognized for their talent and pride.
