Saw Mountain Heart for the first time last night in Winfield. Wow! A life changing event for me. Unreal how good they are. I'll be ready for em' next year. JH
It's not a rock n roll sounding down beat dude......it's North Carolina power. I disagree with your post. If you can't feel it (the power) then you can't feel bluegrass. It's true Earl, Lester, Jimmy, Carter, Ralph and Bill set the standards, as far as hard driving go, but in my opinion, this drives. If you still don't know what I'm saying, well, I don't know what to tell you.
I can't tell you how much this song makes me want to do a run........hot rod jacked up super charger, just begging for the North Carolina State Patrol to chase me, may God help them see through my dust while I stand harder on the gas pedal. I wish them no harm; they are just simply doing their job......as I do mine while this song breaks my eardrums, blaring at 400 watts and cranked all the way up on some county backroad with a load.
He doesn't have the bland bluegrass voice no, but there's is no one I would rather listen to. He's first and for most on my list, he's the most talented out there and I love anything he or Mountain Heart comes up with. Glad you know Josh's name cause you'll hear it for a long time to come!
I know his name, i have seen him 5 times and got my pic with him. i have seen Mountain Heart 8 times. Their show was shot in the heart when Gulley left!
His vocals. him and Barry were tight! that made Jimmy rock, Adam rock, and Clay rock! Thats band was smooth and intense! Yes Josh is more talented and plays piano too, but Steve was the man and Grasstowne is still proving that and that letting him go was the biggest mistake Mountain Heart has ever done!
Being from Ellijay personally and knowing Barry, he says himself that Josh is the best he has ever stood beside, Steve was good but when Josh came on board they soared to a new level.
Yes, they got a bigger and better name. But what they are promoting is Bluegrass, and thats not what is it? when a band does Back in Black, The Ride, Superstious, Simple Man, etc etc etc They are not Bluegrass?! They are talented but when people who dont know bands like IIIrd T O, or D&V, and say that these guys are primary Bluegrass they are wrong and become hardheaded! trust me, i have many friends like that!
@1996WHW Go stalk someone else's videos dude, their fans are not going anywhere were here as long as they are, get over it. Steve is gone and we're happy for it!
Greetings...Kappa sent me...Very nice Bluegrass tune, growing up in Texas i got a heavy dose of Bluegrass including my fav Charlie Daniels who i was fortunate to see live many times.....keep up the good work, i like your sound........
Soul? Look man, this music has alot of soul, esp. from the lead singer. Josh is probably the most soulful singer in bluegrass. And yes, it is bluegrass, its just innovative.
Thats the problem with bluegrass today, if everyone doesn't play the same old stuff its not bluegrass. I had to put up with alot of that with our last mando player.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
And I think the problem is that people think they can play whatever style they want and call it Bluegrass. It sounds more like pop than anything near Bluegrass. I am not a purist at all, but this stuff doesn't cut it as far as being 'grass. They need to open for Britney Spears or something. With that said, they are a good bunch of guys.
You do know that bluegrass is a combo of blues, jazz and appalachian and british isles folk right?
The singing is set up on the a high lead trio which was envented by the osbornes, the instrumental ensemble is that of appalachian string band, and the to me it has a strong bluesy feel. So going by that, it really does fit that description of bluegrass.
I will say the the song and arrangment is closer to other styles of music, but this just makes it *progressive* bluegrass, not pop.
Bro thers no probem with bluegrass, there a problem with people. you shouldnt worry about people who question what genre of music something is. Its so pointless. People who like music based on its genre are morons. people who consciously make decisions about what music they like are not worth the time.
Yeah clay jones taught me the progression when he was over here at the house and that it. the bridge has that wierd chord that he put on it but you really cant hear it on the album..
this is the mountain i love i learned this song cuz it was great and i asked clay jone to teach me this song. he is awsome. this is not the same mountain heart though with out jones, & steffey. josh fits this band great. keep it up with the good work just keep it the way yall normally do things on stage. quit all that rock stuff it aint yall type
mountain heart has come along way since they first started out...i was a little weary when steve left but they're still goin strong and doin good...i wonder how this new mandolin player is goin to work out for them
The band is Perfect the way they are right now. Everyone in it is Awesome!!! Good job Josh , you rock. Jimmy you out beat yourself, truely blessed with all kinds of talent!! Aaron is a great addition! And Barry, Clay and Jason you guys are so wonderful. GREAT BAND!!
i didn't know that Steffey left the band.Good luck to the rest of the guys,but i think the band's best moment were on the "Force of Nature" cd,with Gulley,Jones,and Steffey's breathtaking solos!
Awesome! dude we listen to this 3rd period in music Mr.Jhonson likes it and i like bluegrass now ^.^
