The Lost State of Franklin Band is glory and grit, dirt roads and triumph, gone days and tomorrow’s dream, overcoming and succeeding. They are the story of lost love and a love you’ll never leave, coal mines and shiny cars, rusted trucks and relentless steam trains. They are the American story and a reinvention of an art form that matters, music of the American people. Their history has taken them
to stages in France as well as concerts with George Jones, Ralph Stanley
and Eileen Ivers. In a world of increasing technology and decreasing personal touch, their motto is as true as ever, "Music made with our own hands." $20.
