**** Ragged but Right by the Homegrown String Band – Good Southern Family Music From a Family


The first thing that stood out to me when I saw the Homegrown String band live is the extent that the violinist is gifted.  She sounds like she should be playing for as a guest on Prairie Home Companion.  They mentioned that she had been trained by an extraordinary teacher.  However, what makes the Homegrown String Band special is that the band is literally a family, sort of like the Jackson Five, except the parents are playing with their lovely daughters.  Often the apple doesn’t fall from the tree, and that is what happened this case; the whole family is very gifted as musicians.  There are no bad apples in this family.
