The music of the Crown of the Carolinas paints pictures of some of the places we treasure most in Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina with laid-back grooves and lyrical images of nature at its' finest.

On those days when you're unable to get to your favorite hiking trail, play these songs, close your eyes & you'll get there. It's a musical mini-vacation.

Praise for the music of the Crown of the Carolinas:

"The Crown of the Carolinas" is absolutely the perfect musical explanation of what our Southern Heritage, lifestyle and great beauty of the South truly is all about. Great music and great players bring to mind many of the beautiful places in our homeland that I had almost forgotten." - Doug Gray (The Marshall Tucker Band)

"Just as in Hawaiian music where there is love for places expressed, I get that same message in the lyrics on your cd - love of the `aina. Love of your land and your home." Ozzie Kotani ("Dancing Cat" Recording Artist)

GRITZ Magazine A beautiful piece of work. The Crown of The Carolinas is nothing short of a beautiful piece of work from some of Carolina's best players. Bobby Holiday and friends turn in a musical journey that envokes the true feeling of a walk in the Blue Ridge Mountains, or fishing off of a rock in mountain river. A wise Native American once said "let nature sing." With this release, it does just that. -Michael Buffalo Smith
