Boasting 11 original songs, the album was produced by Wilson and recorded in two sessions at Fidelitorium Recordings in Kernersville, NC, over the falls of 2014 and 2015, with finishing touches at Overdub Lane in Durham, NC.
Drawing upon a broad array of American roots influence, “Chatham County Line is much more than your average banjo-playing, fiddle-fueled combo” (Blurt). With poignant songwriting and inventive acoustic arrangements, highlighted by trademark three-and four-part harmonies, the veteran ensemble is “well-deserving of inclusion on a list of America’s best modern string bands” (The Bluegrass Situation).
Since forming in North Carolina in 1999, the band—Dave Wilson (guitar/vocals/songwriter), John Teer (mandolin/fiddle), Chandler Holt (banjo), and Greg Readling (bass/pedal steel/piano)—have toured hundred of thousands of miles. From elegant European concert halls to large American folk festivals, “what sets Chatham County Line apart from other eclectic acoustic bands are its live shows”(City Beat).
