Album DescriptionWith music and lyrics as haunting as a mist-shrouded forest, with songs that breathe new life into old ghosts of long-ago cabins and trails, and with offerings as uplifting as a walk in the woods, Sherrie invokes the very spirit of the hills she calls home. The musical influences weaving their way through this mountain tapestry have graciously drifted in from the leavings of earlier highlanders, and range from Celtic, Traditional, Native American, Bluegrass, to Blues, and more. She was always aware that music held an undeniable power to captivate her - but it took nearly four decades to realize that there was music she was holding captive, with her silence. Now with the help of some fine musicians, Sherrie Matthews is setting that music free, beginning with 13 original songs that come at you straight from the mountains of Western North Carolina. Give a listen to this compelling new CD and slip back into the hills...slip back in time...and find a more peaceful place in your hectic world.
