THE HAGARS MOUNTAIN BOYS - Forever Yours
By Robert Steelman - BMP
Magazine
Forever
Yours is a good, solid release from The Hagars Mountain
Boys, based out of Roxboro, North Carolina. This project is
impressive for the variety of material. One surprising entry,
which works extremely well in the bluegrass treament given
it by these guys, is the Travis Tritt hit, Anymore. On the
other end of the spectrum is a nice a capella number, Lord,
Dont Leave Me Here, which serves well to demonstrate
their vocal prowess. Waiting To Hear You Call Me Darling has
rarely been done so well. The Boys are Blake Johnson, upright
bass; Cliff Smith, banjo; Mike Johnson, guitar; Ricky Stroud,mandolin.
These guys are great and deserve to be presented on a major
bluegrass label. BMP
