Chance McCoy and The Appalachian String Band, released in 2008, documents a young West Virginia musician whose roots run deep in the old-time and early bluegrass traditions of the region. McCoy, who later gained wider recognition as a member of the Old Crow Medicine Show, grounds this recording in the fiddle-and-banjo mountain repertoire that preceded and underlies bluegrass proper. The album is a straightforward statement of regional musical identity, made without commercial calculation and with evident affection for the tradition. It stands as a useful artifact of the early twenty-first century old-time revival and as a record of McCoy's musical origins before his profile widened.
