Review by Niels Verwaal

Code Of The Mountains by Bill Clifton And His Dixie Mountain Boys is a remarkable bluegrass album that takes listeners on a journey through the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. The album features a mix of traditional and original songs, all of which are expertly performed by Clifton and his band.

The standout tracks on the album include "Code Of The Mountains," "Hills Of Roane County," and "Little White Church." The title track, "Code Of The Mountains," is a hauntingly beautiful song that captures the essence of life in the mountains. With its mournful fiddle and soulful vocals, it is a powerful tribute to the people who call the mountains home.

The album also features some impressive instrumental work, particularly on tracks like "Rabbit In The Log" and "Black Mountain Rag." The Dixie Mountain Boys' musicianship is top-notch, and their tight harmonies and expert picking make for some truly enjoyable listening.
