Album Notes

Music from the mountains has been dubbed as Appalachian style, but within the Appalachian Mountains there are the Blue Ridge Mountains. Tucked in the Blue Ridge Mountains you will find one of the spots richest in history and beauty known as the Great Smoky Mountains.
Folks from the Smoky Mountains are known for their music as well as arts and crafts. The music from the Smoky Mountains has a special
blend of Appalachian sounds with a hint of German and Irish influence. Smoky Mountain Christmas is pure in authenticity and the renditions
of the Christmas Carols played throughout are just as if you were there in the late 1800s. The album includes indigenous song "The Gatlinburg
Carol" and a fun mountain version of "Home for the Holidays" with guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel.
