The Georgia Potlickers: The Georgia Potlickers

Americana Music has origins that lie in a number of older traditional genres. "Old Time" Appalachian Mountain music is among the most influential. You'd be hard pressed to find any one that plays old time music in a more authentic fashion than the Georgia Potlickers. Hailing from the historic gold mine town of Dahlonega, Georgia in the foothills of the North Georgia Mountains, their self-titled debut project contains arrangements of forgotten classics that date back to the minstrels of the 19th century. Included as well are early 20th century treasures from the likes of the Carter Family, Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers and the Cofer Brothers. Featuring John Grimm's fiery fiddle, Toby Denham's raucous clawhammer banjo and Rick Taylor's consummate guitar, The Georgia Potlickers will leave you yearning for an era gone by.
