Kentucky Mountain Folk

Kentucky mountain folk music is an evocative and timeless genre deeply rooted in the Appalachian region's rugged landscape and rich cultural heritage. Characterized by plaintive vocals and traditional acoustic instruments such as the banjo, fiddle, dulcimer, and guitar, the music often tells tales of hardship, love, and the simple mountain life. Influenced by a mix of European immigrant and African American sounds, its raw and unpolished style captures the earnestness of its performers. Artists like Roscoe Holcomb and Jean Ritchie are known for their distinctive singing styles, employing a high lonesome sound that resonates with the soul-stirring beauty and authenticity of the hills from which the genre emerged. Kentucky mountain folk remains a treasured embodiment of Appalachian spirit and musical storytelling.
