The Hopscotch Music Festival is prized by critics for its diversity, and the Raleigh, NC band Chatham County Line can certainly count toward that determination. At a festival featuring everything from doom and black metal to the latest indie darlings, from John Cale to noise collagists like Merzbow, nothing is too far afield to be included, so long as the music is good. Bluegrass music wasn’t over-represented at the festival by any means, but CCL were there to give you your fix, playing a modernized version of the style that keeps its history firmly in mind. Playing in the traditional stage setup clustered around a single microphone, the band covered a wide range of their catalog, as well as previews of their recently-completed sixth album, which should drop later this year.
North Carolina-based taper Larry Tucker recorded this set with a soundboard feed and American-made Peluso CEMC6 cardiod microphones. We’d like to thank him for his generosity in sharing this excellent recording. Enjoy!
