I grew up listening to folk and singer-songwriter legends like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Harry Chapin. There is a certain limitation that comes with music made by one or two people and a guitar. I have always had the feeling that it makes the music a bit more genuine. It either works or it doesn't. When The Honey Dewdrops plays, it works. The band released their third album titled Silver Lining earlier this year. A highlight of the album was Hills of My Home. I have heard the band perform this song in concert and am happy to see it make its way to this album.The song takes on the topic of mountaintop removal mining in a way that makes it both personal and potent without being overbearingly political.
