Bluegrass on Pitchfork
I always wonder how the occasional bluegrass band gets the attention of the indie press when there are about a hundred other comparable bands vying for the spot. It would be nice to think the band is just plain awesome. But it’s more likely a matter of label connections, personal connections, and, well, that the band rocks.
The taste-making website, PitchforkMedia, today has a review of Chatham County Line’s latest CD, Route 23. It doesn’t really matter what the reviewer said (they gave it a respectable 7.3), this young band will now get a second-look by all the other indie ‘zines that passed them up. Good for them.
