Homesick for a Country, released in 2019, captures the Petersens, the Missouri-based family band, at a moment of growing national recognition as one of the most engaging family-harmony acts in contemporary bluegrass and acoustic music. The group, centered on siblings from the Petersen family, built their following through relentless touring and a social media presence that brought their close-harmony singing to audiences well beyond the traditional bluegrass circuit. Their choice of 'Wade in the Water,' a song rooted in the African American spiritual tradition, reflects the broad reach of the Americana repertoire the Petersens draw from. The album demonstrates the group's ability to blend traditional gospel, bluegrass, and folk material into a coherent sound built around family vocal blend.
