Old Virginia Hills

...the opening song, "Music In The Old Virginia Hills" is so good. It's absolutely catchy and old time country sounding. . . the song could be the theme for the tourism campaign called the Crooked Road. The instruments sound so clear and distinct...the harmonies are lovely . . . several new original songs. The Wolfe Bros. have a remarkedly fine sound.
