Listen to this CD on a clear crisp autumn night on your back porch,kickback and have a few homebrews, every song on this album should give you goosebumps and make you wish you had a girlfriend with two first names just like Myrna Lee.

"Homegrown" is a worthy follow-up to Blue Mountain's debut disc, "Dog Days". This Mississippi based band continues to outshine all the other so-called alt. country or roots rock acts simply on the strength of their songwriting and the ability to transport the listener into their "ever so real" world. This act continues to evolve and this effort is definately not "Generic America".

A few years ago, I picked up this CD as one of an armful going for a few dollars a piece at a store going out of business... I'd never hear of Blue Mountain before. It might have been the album cover that caught my eye, and for a few bucks... what the heck.

I was captivated from the very first notes... Strange, rich, punky mountain-folk tunes with a real attitude. Gritty, soulful, willfully uncooperative, unrepentant, untamed and downright obnoxious (if you don't think "obnoxious" can be a compliment, this album might not be for you) ... the essence of being American.

I sought out more and found their album "Roots" ... also awesome, a fresh playing of many classic folk tunes, whereas "Homegrown" is all original material I think.
