True stories of mountain life sung with rare conviction and beauty, reminiscent of early bluegrass and country.
Bio / Background
Hailed as one of the top roots albums of the year, Rita Hosking's "Are You Ready?" presents true stories of mountain life sung with rare conviction and beauty. A dozen originals and one Hazel Dickens tune feature Rita, her band "Cousin Jack", and acoustic music stars such as Joe Craven and Rob Ickes. Stunning "Are You Ready?" signals the emergence of a powerful new voice that commands respect in folk, bluegrass and country.
Rita Hosking was raised in the mountains of Shasta County, Northern California, where she internalized dusty woodsheds, the scent of springwater, forest fires and the troubles of rural economies. Her musical experience began as a child at church, and under the wings of an old time jug band made up of seasoned mountain characters. A descendant of Cornish miners who sang in the mines, Rita grew up with deep regard for folk music and the power of the voice.
