Famous For Killing Each Other: Music From and Inspired by Hatfields & McCoys

 (73 customer reviews)

I listened to the preview songs once and promptly downloaded the MP3 version to my computer. I'm on my third non-stop listen and it just gets better and better! If you like Folk, Bluegrass, Mountain or Celtic music, you won't be disappointed. I didn't know Kevin Costner possessed such magnificent musical abilities! The song "I Know These Hills" is superbly sung by Sara Beck and it sends chills up and down my spine every time I hear it. Buy the CD or download the MP3 version and see if it doesn't have the same effect on you...

I enjoyed the deep bluegrass and country tunes that this album gave. It is a true representation of the music you heard during the History Channel movie.

5 Star CD! Let me start out by saying, only two songs are actually from the movie. The other songs are or were inspired by the movie. kevin costner and Sara beck do an excellent job singing and bringing you back in time and thinking about the way it was in singing back in the day. The songs are not hillbilly bluegrass or junk music. They are wonderful folk music to be listened to and contemplated by anyone. Maybe on your ipod down by the river or sitting under an oak tree in your back yard or just in your living room. Whatever makes you just sit and listen and ponder the words and music. I've lived in the mountains of Va for over 50 years and can honestly say country folk can be some of the finest folks you could ever meet or want to meet. Listen to the music and remember the times they fought and the times they fought just to live. The music will move you to remember.......
