Through their personal storytelling, Mount Moriah develops a piercing portrait of a "New South" where progressive traditions are still fitfully breaking free from conservative ones. Their cathartic vision for home and themselves is writ large in their lovingly critical negotiation with romantic, political, and gender identities; geographical perspective; confrontation and forgiveness. Mount Moriah are singer/guitarist Heather McEntire and guitarist Jenks Miller. The expanded arrangements feature Daniel Hart on violin, Allyn Love plays pedal steel, Indigo Girl Amy Ray sings backing vocals.
