Bruce Hornsby & Ricky Skaggs ~ Valley Road

The Lost Ark Studio presents "Shady Grove" by Whiskey Shivers, the first single from the Lost Ark Studio Compilation - Vol. 07. Five guys came in, we set up the mics in the room - and they went at it, laid down a great track... When these guys bring it, they really bring it.

Hatched in the twilight months of ought nine, these five young men came from all corners of the US looking to do one thing: knock the dust off roots music.
A freewheelin', trashgrassin', folk tornado, the Whiskey Shivers take traditional instrumentation, soak it in gasoline and send it into outer space. Breakneck speeds, killer grooves and impeccable musicianship: it's enough to make Bill Monroe himself do a double-take as he spins in his grave.

With upright bass, fiddle, washboard, banjo, guitar, and reasonably priced merchandise, Whiskey Shivers adds a fine layer of grit on top of the hard-driving rhythms of traditional bluegrass.

They've been called everything from "trashgrass" to "hardcore roots" to "crazy-assed redneck music" — whatever the words, the meaning is the same: Whiskey Shivers brings the house down.

Bobby Fitzgerald - Fiddle, Vocals
Andrew VanVoorhees - Bass, Vocals
Jeff 'Horti' Hortillosa - Guitar, Vocals
James Bookert - Banjo, Vocals
Joe Deuce - Washboard

Recorded and Mixed by Mike Butler at The Lost Ark Studio
Mastered by Jamal Ruhe at West West Side Music

Shady Grove - Whiskey Shivers

Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darlin’
Shady Grove my little love
I'm a goin' back to Harlan

Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darlin’
Shady Grove my little love
I'm a goin' back to Harlan

I wish I had a big ol’ hog
And corn to feed him on
I wish I had a pretty little gal
To feed him when I'm gone

Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darlin’
Shady Grove my little love
I'm a goin' back to Harlan

Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darlin’
Shady Grove my little love
I'm a goin' back to Harlan

Went to see my Shady Grove
She's a standin’ in the door
Her shoes and stockins in her hand
And her bare feet on the floor

Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darlin’
Shady Grove my little love
I'm a goin' back to Harlan

Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darlin’
Shady Grove my little love
I'm a goin' back to Harlan

Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't have you my love
I don't want none at all

Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darlin’
Shady Grove my little love
I'm a goin' back to Harlan

Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darlin’
Shady Grove my little love
I'm a goin' back to Harlan

Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darlin’
Shady Grove my little love
I'm a goin' back to Harlan

Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darlin’
Shady Grove my little love
I'm a goin' back to Harlan

LYRICS
(C)2025 Ggreg Snyder

[Verse 1]
Met her in Buckhead on a Friday night,
Hotel neon casting soft red light.
Sweet tea and vodka in her painted hand,
Me with a craft beer, trying to understand.
She spoke of being an extra on Walking Dead,
And Bobbi Gentry songs running through her head.
I held my tongue when the talk got near,
Politics could spoil a view so clear.

[Chorus]
the prettiest girl I seen since I don't know when,
Sitting next to her, I got a yen.
But beauty can’t carry the weight of the bed,
When silence says more than the sounds she said.
She might be the prettiest I ever knew…
But pretty don’t always mean true.

[Verse 2]
She led me upstairs with a practiced grace,
A mirror of angels carved into her face.
The night was wrapped in a promise untold,
But promises fade when the truth grows cold.
Her body was flawless, like statues in Rome,
But marble’s not warm when you’re left alone.
She whispered rehearsed little sighs in the dark,
Like a mixtape skipping on the same old spark.

[Chorus]
the prettiest girl I seen since I don't know when,
Praise the lord for her body, then say amen.
But beauty can’t carry the weight of the bed,
When silence says more than the sounds she said.
She might be the prettiest I ever knew…
But pretty don’t always mean true.

[Bridge]
Lesson learned beneath hotel sheets,
Not every flame gives off the heat.
The brightest diamond sometimes dulls,
The fairest faces leave hearts half-full.

[Final Chorus]
the prettiest girl I seen since I don't know when,
On a scale of one to nine, she ranks a ten.
The night was a picture, but the colors bled,
When silence says more than the sounds she said.
She might be the prettiest I ever knew…
But pretty don’t always mean true.

Raw, soulful, and with plenty of swagger, Town Mountain is released their 5th studio album Southern Crescent on April 1, 2016 through LoHi Records. Recorded in a decidedly old-school way, live, with minimal fixes and overdubs, with all the musicians in the same room, the album was produced and engineered by GRAMMY winner Dirk Powell and mixed by Scott Vestal at Digital Underground.

Town Mountain (Robert Greer on vocals & guitar, Jesse Langlais on banjo & vocals, Bobby Britt on fiddle, Phil Barker on mandolin & vocals, and Nick DiSebastian* on bass) made their way to the little south-central Louisiana town of Breaux Bridge, where they recorded their most cohesive, most satisfying album to date at Powell’s studio, The Cypress House. Adam Chaffins* plays bass in the touring outfit.

Southern Crescent is full of variety from the boogie-woogie piano of Jerry Lee Lewis that inspired the delightful (and danceable) "Coming Back to You," to Greer's cleverly penned and fast-paced "Tick on a Dog," which offers a taste of another major bluegrass influence, Jimmy Martin. Barker, Langlais and Greer the chief writers in the band and the group members' palpable chemistry (and individual artistry) are displayed throughout such instantly memorable tracks as "Wildbird," and "I Miss the Night."

LoHi Records, based in Greensboro, N.C., is a partnership formed by entrepreneur & marketing veteran Jim Brooks with singer/songwriter & record producer Todd Snider, record producer Tim Carbone (Railroad Earth), and Chad Staehly from Gold Mountain Entertainment in Nashville.

“They have stuck with their deep bluegrass roots but as they have with all of their releases they have grown and expanded. They sound like Carolina, and they carry that sound farther and farther with Southern Crescent” --Jim Lauderdale

"The past echoes through Town Mountain, clear through to the future. To bluegrass fans I'd say the genre is in good hands. But you will dig the rough edges too! They're a shot of 100 proof bluegrass with a honky-tonk chaser!" --Tim Carbone (Railroad Earth)
