CD sampler image The Mountain Harvest CD Sampler is a collection of music from some of the musicians who live & play in and around Western Colorado's North Fork Valley. The recordings were made between 1998 & 2001 and represent the depth & diversity of the music and the people in the area. It's a good slice of the musical pie. On the CD you will hear old time fiddle, bluegrass, blues, Celtic music, African influenced drumming, acappella vocals, and contemporary country, folk, & rock. There are a few instrumental tunes, and lots of harmonious singing and great pickin'. Some of the songs willpull at your heartstrings, others make you laugh, and some will make you want to get up and dance. A truly enjoyable listening experience.
