    Default Scots-Irish/Hillbilly Music

    Scots-Irish is a common mix for the Southern Appalachian/Smokey Mountain people. I love the old music, especially the lyrics of the old Irish (Celtic) folk songs and the music of the Scots-Irish. The mountain music and the instruments, fiddles and banjos is a direct musical connecting to the Scottish and Irish homeland. When the Scots moved here they didn't like being told what to do and how to do it, they were a very independent lot, so they moved up into the mountains away from the towns and lived in separate home places in loose communities.

    So if you wonder where Hillbilly music came from you can see it firsthand here. Even the mountain dancing style has it's roots here:

    Yep. I noticed that too. I had checked Steve 'n' Seagulls out a while back. They are pretty good.

    Celtic Woman is where it's at. That's class right there. They also do a lot of their songs in Gaelic.
