Gyasi does something unexpected with "Songs From The Holler"-he trades his signature high-voltage rock n' roll for the humble sounds of home. Born and raised in the rugged hills of a West Virginia holler, Gyasi returns to his roots and the solitary mountains of his youth, celebrating the music he first encountered as a child by recording a vibrant folk-blues album. Nearly captured in the wild with just two microphones, the songs on "Songs From The Holler" feel authentic and heartfelt. The album blends familiar classics and forgotten gems with four original tracks, highlighting Gyasi's tasteful guitar work and his genuine connection to this music. "Songs From The Holler" is an artful oddity whose sounds will carry you back to a world long past.
