Old Country Store is yet another feather in the cap for the Turning Ground band, classic bluegrass original with the twist of their contemporary bluegrass style. The five top-notch musicians bring freshness, and a beautiful transition from an upbeat tempo to a soothing and relaxing music. The Old Country Store takes you on a journey of musical waves that elevates your energy and then gives you sober and relaxing music.
The album opens up with “Barbed Wire and Roses” an upbeat rhythm that makes it a perfect first song. The musical journey luxuriates with “I’ve Lived a Good Life” and “Old Country Store” tracks.
“Don’t tell me I’ve Gone Crazy” brings that energy back creating the musical waves that rise and fall with beats. The track moves with sway, followed by soft songs “Sadie”, “The Lonesome River”, “I’m Gonna Wear a Crown”.
“Bluegrass” and “Waymore Blues” a real tribute to the genre, beautifully sang by Nathan Arnett.
The journey continues with “Let the Big Wheels Roll” followed by “The Longer You Wait” are an absolute favourite and keeps the music moving. “Will Heal Over Time” a melodious closure to the album.
The harmonious progression of the album elevates your spirits. Old Country Store Album by Turning Ground is a musical journey that every Bluegrass listener will enjoy.
