Mountain Fever Records is proud to announce the release of Children Of The Mountain, the sophomore CD from Volume Five!
Volume Five's strong vocals, dead-on harmonies, and precision picking make them one of the most exciting new "traditional" bands to hit the bluegrass scene in a long while.
The band first gained national acclaim with their debut CD on Mountain Fever Records titled Down In A Cell. The project was well received by radio and enjoyed chart success including consistent placement at the top of Bluegrass Junction's Top Tracks And Albums on Sirius XM Radio since its release in August 2010.

Volume Five consists of Glen Harrell (fiddle & vocals); Patton Wages (banjo, & vocals);Chris Williamson (bass & vocals); Jesse Daniel (mandolin & vocals); and Adam Duke(guitar & vocals). Each member of Volume Five has held tenure with national touring bands such as Marty Raybon and Full Circle, The Bradley Walker Band, The Anita Fisher Band, Randy Kohrs and The Lites, The Larry Stephenson Band, and David Davis and The Warrior River Boys, prior to their collective start in early 2008.
Children Of The Mountain offers a generous 14 tracks of coal-mining songs, gospel music, revisited country favorites and original material including the title cut, penned by Jesse Daniel who also contributed "Coal Miner's Curse" and the first single from the CD, "Anywhere Is Home Again". Throughout the project, Volume Five members share lead vocal duties proving their versatility on former country songs such as the Shawn Camp/Tim Mensey penned "The Grandpa That I Know", a Patty Loveless release from 2003; the Skip Ewing favorite, "The Gospel According To Luke"; the Don Williams classic "Good Ole Boys Like Me" as well as two Bill Monroe standards; "Cryin' Holy Unto the Lord" and "Can't You Hear Me Calling". Perhaps one of the highlights from the project comes from the pen of Mountain Fever Records label mate Bubba Chandler with the poignantly written "The Rabbit Song" about a widower who watches his years come to an end with his old dog by his side.
From beginning to close, Volume Five entwines each song selection on Children Of The Mountain into the next in an effortless, simplistic way while firmly staking their place among the young professional bands in bluegrass music. Children Of The Mountain is available today on Mountain Fever Records and wherever great music is sold. The project has been shipped and will be in the hands of radio programmers this week but is available now via Airplay Direct andRadioSubmit.
