Blue Trail of Sorrow, Released 10/02/2001

Fueled by banjos, fiddles, mandolins, and the high lonesome sound of the human voice, the music described as bluegrass was once left to languish in the hills of its origin. Recently, bluegrass has emerged and met with enthusiastic response from a broad spectrum of new fans. Artists like Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminski, Norman Blake, and the Cox Family are featured in the hit film O Brother Where Art Thou? Blue Trail of Sorrow is an introduction to the wonders of this magical music, sprung from the deep well of American tradition. From the burnished mountain soul of Hazel Dickens, James King, and the Stanley Brothers to the inquisitive old time of John Hartford or the contemporary bluegrass of Tony Furtado and Tim O'Brien, Blue Trail of Sorrow opens a window onto an endless vista of American tradition and invention.
