Review by Mano Paris

The album Darling Nellie Gray Sleep Baby Sleep by Hill Billies is a beautiful collection of traditional American folk songs. The album features the soothing and melodic vocals of the lead singer, accompanied by a range of instruments including guitar, banjo, and fiddle.

The songs on the album are all classics, and the Hill Billies have done an excellent job of bringing them to life in a way that is both authentic and fresh. The arrangements are simple and understated, allowing the beauty of the melodies and lyrics to shine through.

One of the standout tracks on the album is the title track, "Darling Nellie Gray Sleep Baby Sleep." The song is a lullaby that is both sweet and haunting, with lyrics that speak to the universal experience of parents comforting their children to sleep.
