“Anchored securely in the traditions of bluegrass, they have added to that
foundation layer upon layer of contemporary perfection . . .” – BLUEGRASS UNLIMITED
“Mountain Heart is one of the most entertaining groups in bluegrass music today.” – RICKY SKAGGS
The members of Mountain Heart have spent nearly a decade together pushing relentlessly at the boundaries of bluegrass. With a shared attitude of adventure, a fierce devotion to their mission and fire in their fingers, they’ve proven a genre steeped in tradition to be a living, breathing thing – a sound not only of the present but of the future.
Their latest release Wide Open finds the group bringing more of that “energy, intensity and fire” to the recording studio than ever before on cuts like the tire-squealing title track and the blistering instrumental “Deadwood.” But there’s much more here than land-speed-record string-burning. From the sweetly romantic “I Remember You” to the chilling “Here I Am,” and from the bitter “God and Everybody” to the peaceful “Down in the Valley,” Wide Open is the sound of a group with a broad emotional range and no self-imposed limits.
With their new album, Mountain Heart demonstrates for anyone lucky enough to listen that their music, their minds, their hearts and their possibilities are indeed Wide Open.
