Tree on a Hill, released by Sugar Hill Records on April 26, 1994, brings Peter Rowan together with his brothers Chris and Lorin Rowan for a family-band project — Peter on guitar, banjo, and vocals; Chris on guitar and baritone vocals; Lorin on guitar, mandolin, and tenor vocals — supported by Viktor Krauss on bass, Sally Van Meter on dobro, and Richard Greene on fiddle. The program ranges from Rowan originals like the title piece and the sacred ballad Mary Magdalene through traditional material including Man of Constant Sorrow, Rye Whiskey, and Fair and Tender Ladies. The Rowan Brothers' sibling harmony anchors the program and locates the album within the long tradition of brother-act bluegrass.
