The Return of Chatham County Line
2008 is starting out strong for the aforementioned Yep Roc Records. March 4th will see the release of IV, the fourth disc from North Carolina's neo-bluegrass marvels, Chatham County Line.
IV marks a return to form after what I felt was a disappointing third effort, Speed of the Whipporwill . CCL has reunited with ex-dB Chris Stamey, who produced the band's first two discs with stunning results. Stamey lets the band's pop sensibilities shine through once again on IV , which punctuates their musical virtuosity and gorgeous harmonies.
You can stream the entire album here, and place your order to boot.

I could not agree more. "Speed of the Whippoorwill" was a bit disappointing for such a great band. I heard the stream of "IV" the other day and I was totally blown away.
The songs are amazing and the instruments and singing is mindblowing. Can't wait for this to come out on March 4.
