Album DescriptionEchoes of the Mountains is the first all new studio album from the legendary Dry Branch Fire Squad since 2001's Hand Hewn. Featuring songs that Dry Branch not only puts their stamp on and makes fully their own, like fan favorites "Echo Mountain," "Rider on an Orphan Train" and "O Captain! My Captain!" this is the long-awaited and exciting first release by Dry Branch in its current and longest-running, best-established line-up: Ron Thomason, Brian Aldridge, Dan Russell, and Tom Boyd. This is Dry Branch in its most bluegrass-inflected incarnation -- "Bluegrass music is band music," Thomason reminds us. True, and as such, this is the Dry Branch Fire Squad as many in the know have hoped to hear them for years. Get ready for soulful and raw traditional bluegrass and old-time music, an enduring and well-loved band still giving us a heartfelt and fresh set of new favorites.
