Vigorous Anglo-American mountain music, old English ballads, Afro-American Gospel music, and many other traditions all contributed to the growth of the music. Like its cousins, Native American and African music, it is rooted in a driving, primal rhythm, and it lives and breathes in its SOCIAL experience For more information, go to ToneWay.com
