Playlist: From the Hollows to Heaven: Songs of Faith & Legacy

A collection of original country and Appalachian-inspired songs about faith, family, history, redemption, and the journey home. These songs draw from the lives of ordinary people who trusted God through war, hardship, calling, loss, aging, slavery, ministry, and generations of change. Some are inspired by family stories, some by the history of the Appalachian region, and others by the simple truth that this life is only part of the journey. With influences from traditional country, Appalachian music, Southern gospel, fiddle-driven mountain music, and vintage country storytelling, each song carries a different story while sharing one common thread: God remains faithful through every season. Featured songs include: Scatter Me High — a man who spends his life feeling like a sojourner and asks that his ashes be scattered across the highest Blue Ridge. Your Mercy Still Remains — a reflection on aging, mistakes, grace, and the mercy of God that never changes. He Finally Answered the Call — inspired by a WWII Navy veteran who answered God's call later in life and left a ministry legacy through his sons. The Preacher of the Hollows — honoring the old mountain evangelists who carried prayer into isolated hollows and river bottoms. They Brought a Song to Wachovia — remembering the Moravian settlers who brought faith, worship, craftsmanship, and music into the Carolina wilderness. God Knew My Name — inspired by West African ancestry, enslavement in western North Carolina, survival, identity, and a faith that could not be erased. These are songs about where we came from, what carried us through, and where we believe we're going.
