Highwoods Stringband
Fire on the Mountain

In the early 1970s, The Highwoods Stringband was one of the first young groups to revive theclassic old time music sound, bringing their joyful interpretations to audiences around thecountry. As John Lupton wrote in All Music Guide, “Their legacy is that, more than any other band of their time, they were responsible for drawing a legion of new, young fans into oldtime music by the force of their musicianship and the fact that they were having such a damn good time at it.” The music on this record was recorded in September 1972 after a summer ofplaying at festivals and fiddlers' conventions.
