Christmas Along the Crooked Road- Kingsport Times-News

A group of musicians living along the Crooked Road have teamed up to record some of their favorite Christmas songs — mountain music style. “Christmas Along the Crooked Road” features the talents of Gerald Anderson, Jimmy Edmonds, Wayne Henderson, Steve Lewis, Jeff Little, Josh Scott, Spencer Strickland, Helen White and the Junior Appalachian Musicians.

The idea for a Christmas CD sprang from a performance by this group of musicians at the Rex Theater, an anchor venue located on the Crooked Road in Galax, Va. Debbie Robinson, Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway’s director of programs, was coordinating the show and invited Galax native and Miss America 1979 Kylene Barker McNeill to serve as emcee.
