Chatham County Line - Chatham County Line

Posted by Larry Karnowski at June 3, 2003 9:01 PM

I picked up the first CD from Chatham County Line, a local Triangle band (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill), and it's been a great pick so far. I agree with my buddy who said this is the "missing link band between alt country and Bluegrass." The lead singer/guitarist/songwriter is Dave Wilson, who you know as the lead guitarist from Tift Merritt's band, the Carbines. And you might know the fiddle/mandolin playing and high tenor singing John Teer if you've seen Thad Cockrell play in the last year or so. John's been the incredible Telecaster-playing and tenor-singing guy who's re-supercharged Thad's music.
