Lydia McCauley documented folk music at the
prestigious Appalachian Music Archive in Berea,
Kentucky in the early 80s and studied with some
of the best folk musicians in the Appalachian
region. Lydia returns to her roots in
this, her fifth album, a collection of
innovatively arranged pieces from 17-20th
Century Appalachia, beautifully performed by
McCauley and her touring ensemble, along with
special guests. While careful to preserve
Appalachian traditions, she creates a fresh and
contemporary sound that pleases both traditional
and progressive music audiences.
