'Take Me Home, Country Roads': Russell Moore Has The Mountain Stage Song Of The Week
One of the most awarded groups in bluegrass history sings one of the Mountain State’s most beloved anthems on this week’s encore episode originally recorded in February of 2020.
While some presume that John Denver’s iconic song “Take Me Home, Country Roads” has been performed on Mountain Stage many times over the years, it has only made a scant few appearances in our playlists. Here’s the highly decorated bluegrass group Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, who closed out their set by honoring an audience request for the classic tune.
