Moatsville String Ticklers - The West Virginia Hills Moatsville Blues
Review by Megan McDermott
The West Virginia Hills Moatsville Blues by Moatsville String Ticklers is a delightful album that showcases the band's exceptional talent and musical prowess. The album features a mix of traditional bluegrass and country music, with a touch of modern flair that gives it a unique sound.
The Moatsville String Ticklers' instrumental skills are on full display in this album, with each member of the band contributing their own unique style and sound. The banjo, mandolin, fiddle, and guitar are all played with precision and passion, creating a rich and vibrant musical tapestry.
The album's standout tracks include "West Virginia Hills," a beautiful ballad that captures the spirit of the state's natural beauty, and "Moatsville Blues," a foot-stomping number that showcases the band's infectious energy and rhythm.
