Description

Balsam Range started out intending to make their debut project, Marching Home, as a Bill Monroe tribute album. They ended up recording six Monroe tunes, and decided to add seven more songs from modern-day songwriters. Fiddler and tenor singer Buddy Melton said, It’s a great CD with a lot of variety and styles. There is a traditional element to it and the tribute to Monroe is a big part of it. There is also Blue Mountain and some of the others that are unique and different, a fresh new sound. The band hosted a CD release party for the project on September 25, 2007 at the Haywood County Fair in Waynesville, NC.
