Rural Rhythm Records is pleased to announce the debut album by emerging Bluegrass artist Joe Hott titled WEST VIRGINIA RAIL. Hott brings
aunique blend of traditional bluegrass, gospel music and Appalachian
mountain mixture that makes the 23 year old, West Virginia native a rare
treasure on today’s music scene.
Joe Hott already has two Bluegrass charted singles, “West Virginia Rail” and “World Of Lies”, under his belt and released two more singles earlier this month, “Lonesome As Can Be” and the gospel song classics “Cry From The Cross”, which are all contained on his debut album.
Produced by Adam Engelhardt & Glen Duncan, WEST VIRGINIA RAIL features Hott’s soulful mountain vocals accompanied by top Bluegrass musicians Scott Vestal, Cody Kilby, Dennis Crouch, Aubrey Haynie, Glen Duncan, Ned Luberecki, Casey Campbell and Joe Spivey.
WEST VIRGINIA RAIL includes seven co-written songs by Hott and features three songs with a Stanley Brothers connection. “If That’s The Way You Feel” written by Ralph Stanley, “Loving You Too Well” written by Carter Stanley and “I Can’t Get You Out Of My Mind” written by Stanley Brothers band member Roy Lee Centers and recorded with Jack Lynch before he became a long time member of the Clinch Mountain Boys for the Stanley Brothers.
