Chatham County Line - Speed Of The Whippoorwill

180-gram vinyl, includes digital download of the full album

Featuring "Confederate Soldier," "Rock Pile" "Company Store" and "Speed Of The Whippoorwill"

The band's 2006 album, now on vinyl. After 2005's Route 23, Chatham County Line's praises were sung both in the traditional bluegrass-loving pages and the websites of the young and hip. No Depression praised their ability to "appeal to those who aren't typical fans of bluegrass" and Pitchfork concured, saying, "For a new band writing starkly traditional bluegrass, this is shockingly strong material... the highlights here are as good as it gets." Speed Of The Whippoorwill, produced by Brian Paulson (Beck, Cities, Uncle Tupelo), continues the band's quest to unite their love for the power of rock with their faith in their home state's fine tradition of pure music.

"The four-part harmonies are gorgeous (particularly on 'Waiting Paradise') and the musical interplay impeccable (as reflected on a pair of instrumentals, the banjo breakdown 'Savoy Special' and the mandolin showcase 'Brice's Crossroads'), but if the copyright didn't indicate that this is all original material from 2006, the listener could mistake much of it for Depression-era revivalism." — Amazon.com
