Sweetheart Of The Smoke Hole
(CD only)


The precipitous West Virginia terrain has given shape to Loris Shreve's singing. Her sense of time resonates with the beat of tumbling waterfalls and her back-up band extends to the birdsong just audible above the water's roar and gurgle. Her repertoire includes songs she remembers hearing Molly O'Day and other greats sing over WWVA, the Wheeling Jamboree, in the 1940s and '50s. She has a longing to yodel and to hear the surrounding rocks answer.
