“On the Front Porch” is a master class in bluegrass – 12 songs, most of which Kenny learned on the front porch of his grandpa’s house. The album, his third, is rich in the mournful yet hopeful tradition of Appalachian music. The tragic lyrics are as honest as the coal miner’s condition, the fun lyrics often necessary to bring smiles to hearts in tough times .
This music has often brought mountain people joy and hope by “sparking persistence to carry on, oftentimes in spite of bleak circumstance.”
“This record sounds like a bunch of friends playing music together. It’s playing in my truck right now.” – Amy Grant
