The Del McCoury Band : Family Circle
Mccoury Music
“Sweet Appalachia,” the first track on *The Del McCoury Band*’s Family Circle, has lyrics that perfectly describe the 70-year-old bluegrass legend’s distinctive high lonesome voice: “got that sweet mountain soul down in my bones” and “got that sweet mountain spirit down in my veins.” For this record, McCoury is backed by his regular band featuring sons Rob (banjo) and Ronnie McCoury (mandolin) as well as Alan Bartram (bass) and Jason Carter (fiddle). Must-hear tracks include a cover of Mark Knopfler’s “Prairie Wedding” that the ensemble makes it own, the gospel-tinged “I’m Justified” and the fast-paced “Bad Day For Love.” Del McCoury has been in the music business for 50 years and Family Circle shows he’s still going strong.
