I was 4 years old when this album came out. My family was on a vacation in Blue Ridge, Georgia. We stumbled into Tree Frog music shop. My dad always buys an album on every vacation we go on. He asked the man at the counter, the man who’s always there every time we go who’s missing a tooth, what his recommendation was. He said “there’s these new guys. They just released an album. It’s gold.” That was the summer of 2008 and this was that album. My parents quickly became obsessed. They both grew up in many locations around the Eastern Seaboard but I think this music felt like home. They played this music every time we were in the car, and especially on vacations. It was the music of leisure and traveling. Whether we were in the Smokies, the Rockies, or anywhere in between, Steeldrivers was playing. When Reckless came out, the same thing happened. I was just a little girl from a hick town in Florida who had an obsession with the soulful, mournful sound of the strings and Chris’ voice. I’m nearly 17 now. I’m applying to colleges, taking AP classes, studying German, organizing school club meetings…It feels like I’ve changed so much from that starry eyed little girl stumbling into a music store in her pink bucket had and sketchers sandals. But this music will never change. I will always come back to it. And listening to it now, remembering all the experiences I’ve had listening to it in the past 12 years or so, I understand now, that wherever I end up in the world, this music will always feel like home.

I think I was about 28when I 1st heard this but it stole my heart since then. Awesome to hear your story tho. I've had a Lotta good times listening to these guys and drinking too much shine. I've moved back north and slowed down a bit since then but I've still got the heart of a rebel southern and mischievous but not racist. I guess that's the yank in me not saying all southerners are...there's bigots everywhere but even they don't know, they're just trying to look after their own. Maybe someday we can actually all get along. I pray for that day 🙏

If you're a Florida native in a hick town, you may have roots in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Alot of people from here migrated to Florida 100 years ago looking for better farm land. My Grandparents included, but the love for mountain music (bluegrass) is in your blood, and it never leaves, even after several generations...

Won't you bury me beneath the tree Where my family lies, where my family lies' Let the fog lay low on the mountain high Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry Ain't no redemption for the thing that I have done The devil owns you once the bullets left your gun All I can think of with this rope around my neck Is I'd be much obliged if you grant me one request Won't you bury me, beneath the tree Where my family lies, where my family lies' Let the fog lay low, on the mountain high Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry My soul turned black as coal When I walked the streets at night 'Cause in my heart I knew that something wasn't right And I went crazy when I found her with that man But I felt better once the blood was on my hands Won't you bury me beneath the tree Where my family lies, where my family lies' Let the fog lay low on the mountain high Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry Won't you bury me beneath the tree Where my family lies, where my family lies' Let the fog lay low on the mountain high Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry
