CATOCTIN MOUNTAIN BOYS - ROCK THE MOUNTAIN (USA '85 SOUTHERN COUNTRY ROCK)

 Catoctin Mountain Boys "Rock The Mountain" (Stonehouse Records, 1985) (LP)

(Produced by Rick Hannon)

An album of all-original material from an indie twangband out of Smithsburg, Maryland... The group included bassist Bob Brown, Joe Brown on rhythm guitar, Gordon Connor (drums), Shane Swope (mandolin), and Dave Lingg playing lead guitar... Lingg was the bands primary songwriter, penning all the songs on Side One, while Side Two has a mix of composers including Joe Brown and others, and seems to be all original material as well. Songs include tunes like "Cowboys Never Cry," "Rock The Mountain" and "One Heartbreak Short Of Love" -- a lot of songs about love and heartbreak, actually, doubtless capturing the songwriters at a certain stage in life... Not a ton of info about these guys online, though the band seems to have kept together over the years and was doing local shows in the 2010's, with basically the same lineup along with a new member or two. This appears to be their only album, but ya never know, right?
