“Mountain Girl” is a song recorded by Special Consensus, the long-running Chicago-based bluegrass band founded by the banjo player Greg Cahill. The band carried it on an album released in 2009.
The song is a love song to a woman of the mountains. The singer pledges his care and devotion to his mountain girl and to the life they share — a warm, plainspoken celebration of a love rooted in a place.
Special Consensus has long mixed traditional standards with new songs by its members.
