The Floyd Country Store: Celebrating 100 Years and Counting

Mac and Jenny Traynham are regular performers at the country store and can often be found joining the jam sessions that spring up around the store in the summer months. A husband and wife duo who specialize in the early country duet style of singing and playing old-time country and mountain music. They draw their repertoire from a wide variety of sources from the Appalachian mountains of Virginia and beyond. The Sweetest Way Home features Old Time gospels and duets. Ably performed, as they are here, these songs of antique yet eternal human sentiment draw you inside them. They're so open, honest and welcoming that it would take a cold, cold heart indeed to keep them out. The Traynhams do them plain and true, accompanied only by their guitars. Along the way, though they don't press the point, they bring back something of a lost America, and for a while you almost wish you lived there.
