Bluegrass music has long balanced its worldwide appeal with a strong sense of place, but few of its artists are more openly devoted to their native ground than Mountain Home Music Company’s Unspoken Tradition. So it’s only natural that, while many of its tracks have already been successful singles, their new collection, Resilience, nevertheless has a theme deeply attuned to its history and culture.  

Mountain Home Music Company and its sister imprint Organic Records have once again demonstrated their depth and diversity, fielding an impressive slate of recordings for consideration on this year’s first-round ballots. From hard-driving instrumentals and soaring bluegrass anthems to heartfelt gospel offerings, the labels’ roster underscores their shared commitment to delivering the very best in contemporary roots music.

After a string of chart-topping originals written by band members and close colleagues, Mountain Home Music Company’s Unspoken Tradition breaks from past practice with the release of their latest single, which recasts country Hall of Fame quartet Alabama’s 1992 classic, “I’m In A Hurry (And Don’t Know Why)” as an energetic bluegrass rave-up.

Back with their first new music for Mountain Home Music Company since 2022’s Imaginary Lines, a collection that contained a remarkable seven charting singles, bluegrass powerhouse Unspoken Tradition highlights the distinctive voice of bassist Sav Sankaran on “Moments,” a reflection on the enduring power of memories and their touchstones.

Mountain Home Music Company congratulated Unspoken Tradition on the success of their single, “California,” which reached No. 1 on the Bluegrass Today chart, during their album release show at 185 King Street in Brevard, North Carolina.

Not content to rest on laurels like last year’s summer #1 for “California” and an autumn CMT.com feature for their “Irons In The Fire” video, the swiftly emerging bluegrass quintet Unspoken Tradition makes a fast break for 2022 with the release of “Lookout Mountain,” a tuneful reflection on the consequences of profit-driven development for traditional communities.

Western North Carolina’s Unspoken Tradition has released a music video for their latest single, “Irons In The Fire,” which captures the corrosive effects of dreams deferred and the anxiety and urgency that surround our collective emergence from the enforced idleness of quarantine.
