The music of the Appalachian Mountains may not sound like a concept for American Christian music best sellers, but here's the evidence and judging from the units shifted (an awesome 500,000 copies!) there's a huge market for hammered ducilmers, auto harps and dobro guitars. The presumably session band of Nashville pickers pulled together by this albums' producer, dobro player and guitarist Jack Jezzro, play authentic - sounding versions of the old, old hymns. "I'll Fly Away", "Old Time Religion", "Blessed Assurance", etc.
