Big News!!!
Our soundtrack is finally being released!
Many of you have been asking about this for a long time, and all I could say was, “We’re working on it.”Well, I am excited to announce that The Mountain Minor Motion Picture Soundtrack album is finally finished and will be released on Friday, October 16th! With 39 tracks of complete songs and snippets of background music, the album will be available on most digital platforms as well as on CD. The CD will include a beautiful insert booklet containing essays by:Dale Farmer, writer-producer of The Mountain MinorGerry Milnes, Retired Folk Art Coordinator, Augusta Heritage Center of Davis & Elkins CollegeGloria Goodwin Raheja, Professor of Anthropology, University of MinnesotaTrevor McKenzie, Musician and Archivist, Appalachian State UniversityThe album has taken so long to complete, partly because of the remixing that needed to be done on much of the music which was recorded “live” during the filming. The tracks on the album were taken directly from the soundtrack, which means some of them have the kind of background noise and minor imperfections that you would expect in a live performance. The quality is amazing, thanks not just to our many extraordinary performers, but also to recordist Jerry Sebastian, who so skillfully captured the music on set, and album producers Scott Young and Keyth Neso, who worked their magic during the remixing and mastering.The Mountain Minor Motion Picture Soundtrack will be available for pre-order very soon. Look for more details on Facebook and in our next newsletter. We can’t wait for you to hear it!
