The Rockridge Brothers\u2014Pontus, Peter, Ralf and Kristian\u2014absolutely have got to be bluegrassiest band in all of Stockholm, and maybe even all of Sweden. The fact that these young fellers have glommed on to a fairly regionalized, American musical form is as admirable as it is abstract. From the fiddle-infested opening track \u201cRocky Island,\u201d you know these guys are serious. <em>Rockridge Hollerin\u2019<\/em> is dyed-in-the-wool, down-home mountain music that finds men in matching black suits hunkered around a single microphone creating rootsy magic. Most of the tracks are pretty obscure covers and if you consider yourself an in-the-flesh, acoustic bluegrass music disciple, this album will get you to a-reelin\u2019 and a-rockin\u2019 mighty quick.
