The Floyd Country Store: Celebrating 100 Years and Counting

The songs on this album capture the thrill of hearing two voices side by side on a beautiful melody. Anya and Jackson met in 2005 at the much beloved Friday Night Jamboree at the Floyd Country Store. They felt an immediate musical connection, and quickly discovered a remarkable synergy in their vocal styles. Since the time of this recording, Anya has moved to Asheville, North Carolina, where she sings and plays with her fine old time group, Dehlia Low. Jackson, meanwhile, has recently joined the Spencers in the storied Southwest Virginia old time string band, The Whitetop Mountain Band. Jackson also tours regularly with Martha, who has become not only his musical partner but also his fiancée. So, while Anya and Jackson don't sing together nearly as often, consider this CD, much like the songs themselves, as a kind of “time out of time” where two fine singers, with voices that sound as if they almost emanated from the same place, take us to another time and place and make us feel as if we are there for much longer than three and a half minutes.
