Album Notes

Virginia Pilot (The Coast) Friday, August 3, 2007
By John Harper-
Richmond Virginia's pop-bluegrass band The Whiskey Rebellion is holding CD release parties Friday, Aug. 3, and Saturday, Aug. 4, at Howard's Pub in Ocracoke.
Recorded at a home studio in Wilmington,NC, the self-titled album contains 14 original songs and a spirited take on the traditional fiddle tune "Whiskey Before Breakfast".
Standout tracks include the straight-ahead bluegrass number "Utah Moon", the ragtimey "When You See Me", the catchy ballad "Forget Me Not" and the Celtic-influenced instrumental "By The Water".
It's the debut disc for the quartet, which includes Ryan Phillips (guitar/vocals), Mary Simpson (violin/voclas), Roy Myers (banjo/guitar)and David Cosper (bass/vocals)
