Growing up in coastal Virginia, I heard my share of bluegrass and old time music. Even as a boy I could hear the differences between the two, as well as their shared roots. But something I didn t recognize until I relocated to the Appalachian region was that old time musicians in the mountains didn t always play stately, rural chamber music like the folks I had heard growing up. Out here the music is rough and rowdy, furious and impolite, and plain old fun to listen to as well as play. — That s Five Mile Mountain Road to a T. They play a highly entertaining style that is as raucous as it is authentic. For the purist, think Charlie Poole and Clark Kessinger, but with a touch of early country and western swing thrown in for good measure. — Decked out in bibs and work boots, these boys throw down with the best of em, led by Billy Hurt s fiery fiddle and Seth Boyd s five string banjo. Billy has made a study of Kessinger s work, enhanced by spending time with the old master when Hurt was just a boy. Seth contributes both 3 finger and clawhammer banjo as the situation may dictate, giving the group a wide range of old time sounds. He comes from a long line of noted Franklin County entertainers, and both he and Billy hail from this region of Virginia, legendary for producing acoustic musicians and untaxed whiskey.
