Try some Down to Earth Music

Now I do enjoy listening to music every so often and I'm not partial to any particular kind but, I do have to mention with extreme satisfaction about a CD I just received yesterday.

Tipper from "The blind Pig & the Acorn" blog advertises some of the nicest music you might ever hear. Straight from the Appalachian Mountains I would like to introduce Paul & Jerry Wilson.

This particular CD called "Lamp Lighting Time" was the one I bought and I do have to say that I truly enjoyed it. I even bought a second one for my mother who I know will love it and I haven't even given it to her yet.

Over the years Pap and his brother made music together as The Wilson Brothers. They sang gospel music in the polished high harmonies of the classic brother duet style. They performed at churches, festivals, homecomings, and benefits throughout the south. Over the years they won many awards including the 1998 North Carolina Heritage Award. They were also featured in many publications such as "The Old-Time Herald".


If you like down to earth country music straight from the Appalachian Mountains than I would recommend you buy some of Paul & Pap's music.

Thank you for the wonderful post profiling Pap and Paul's music. We truly appreciate it. I sent Paul your link so he could see it too-he was impressed and wanted me to express his thanks to you.

I'm glad we've met through blogland.
