Washington Post suffering a Hillbilly Heartache

Hillbilly Heartache - Don RigsbyEach December the Washington Post music reviewers list their favorite CDs, videos, concerts, websites, etc. in an article about the best music of year.

This year in The Best of 2006: Music, one of the reviewers by the name of Geoffrey Himes lists as his #8 favorite the CD Hillbilly Heartache by Don Rigsby.

The year’s best country singing could be heard on the new album from this Kentucky mandolinist, still underrated even in his own bluegrass circles.

We send our congratulations out to Don for this recognition.
