Appalachia: American Stories
More than three years in the making, the follow-up to Grant Maloy Smith's critically-acclaimed, Billboard Top 10 album DUST BOWL: AMERICAN STORIES, recorded right in the middle of a global pandemic, APPALACHIA: AMERICAN STORIES captures the essence of Appalachia. Simple but powerful themes like home, family, and love are mixed with the grit of coal mining and today's raging opioid crisis. The result is a poignant musical expression of Grant's love for Appalachia and its people.
APPALACHIA: AMERICAN STORIES features some of Nashville's best players, including Grammy® and IBMA® winning dobro player Rob Ickes (Merle Haggard, Earl Scruggs, Tony Rice, Alison Krauss), Grammy® Nominated guitarist Trey Hensley (Marty Stuart, Johnny and June Carter Cash), Grammy winning accordionist Jeff Taylor (The Time Jumpers), Grammy nominated fiddler Matt Combs (Reba McIntire), Harpist Jelly Roll Johnson (Trisha Yearwood, Guy Clark, Alan Jackson), and 2-time AMC award steel guitarist of the year Mike Johnson (George Strait, Reba McEntire, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, George Jones).
