- WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL MOUNTAIN HEART SITE!!!!.
- Take six of the finest, most innovative musicians in Bluegrass all from vastly different backgrounds and upbringings, each influenced by a host of varied musical sounds and styles including everything from Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Vaughn, James Taylor, and The Dave Mathews Band to George Jones, Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Ricky Skaggs and The David Grisman Quintet -- and you've got the distinct, dynamic sound of Bluegrass's newest super-group, MOUNTAIN HEART. ...
- Force of Nature perfectly captures the entertaining, eclectic mix of material that makes up the trademark sound and style of Mountain Heart--aggressive, quick-picking instrumentals, strong modern ballads, radio friendly hits and a bit of Gospel. Much like the energetic thrill of a Mountain Heart live performance, the new album is sure to entertain, commanding the audience's attention from start to finish. One of Country music's leading critics, Craig Havighurst, recently caught up with Mountain Heart in-studio at Skaggs Place Productions as they were putting their final touches on Force of Nature. ...
- TOO BAD THIS IS ONLY A DOCUMENT- otherwise, I'd be shaking you by your lapels right now, imploring you to FORGET EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU KNOW (or perhaps your petty prejudices) about bluegrass music and, instead, listen to -experience- the transcendent power of Mountain Heart. ... Mountain Heart is the proof you've been looking for (especially if you've been moved in recent years by Alison Krauss & Union Station, the Del McCoury Band or Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder) that bluegrass, at its churning, burning core, really is a cousin of rock and roll - boisterous, butt-whooping, pungent, blues-forged and heretical. ... Mountain Heart is possibly the best band you've never heard from ANY genre, and they deserve a wide audience NOW. ... But singer/guitarist Steve Gulley and banjoist/singer Barry Abernathy conceived of Mountain Heart six or seven years ago while playing for bluegrass legend Doyle Lawson in his band Quicksilver. With band-mate Jim Van Cleve, a teenage fiddle prodigy, bassist Johnny Dowdle and the magnificent mandolin of Union Station alum Adam Steffey, the first version of Mountain Heart was proclaimed a super-group by bluegrass insiders and earned the International Bluegrass Music Association's Emerging Artist of the Year award in 1999. ... And even since the group's best-yet No Other Way album came out on Skaggs Family Records in late 2002, Mountain Heart added guitar phenom Clay Jones. ...
- Abernathy says Mountain Heart's sound is forged by a philosophy that puts no one man above another in the group -- and that support creates a personal bond most other bands can't sustain. Our whole deal, and I said this when we started the band, is the spirit or the heart that we have, Gulley says. ...
- The resulting chemistry on their latest album, Force of Nature, is Mountain Heart's visionary blend of mountain tradition and modern improvisational verve. ... Gulley's highly adaptable vocal attack leans toward classic country on Soldier's Prayer and back toward steam-powered bluegrass on Heart Like a Roadsign, Head Like a Wheel. ... For those of you who remain unconvinced of this band's power, here's an anecdote to ponder - recently, Mountain Heart got into a ferocious jam on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. ... That night, Mountain Heart's intensity produced standing ovations on country music's most important stage. ...
