Jalyn Records is back! The Dayton, Ohio label from the creative mind of bluegrass legend Jack Lynch originally ran from the early '60s through the late '70s. Working out of his apartment on Brown Street, Lynch turned out a steady run of hard-driving bluegrass, country, and gospel sides cut by local pickers and big names alike, including Ralph Stanley and Don Reno. Decades on, these records are now lovingly remastered for modern ears and available on CD for the first time. On this album, Lee Allen and the Dew Mountain Boys bring mountain music back to it's raw, unfiltered roots, where the only thing polished is the sincerity in their voices. Captured live in a humble hall outside Asheville, this album pulses with the honesty of a band grounded in tradition - no frills, just sharp picking, tight harmonies, and the kind of hard-lived emotion that only mountain music can carry.
