A mixture of old and contemporary recordings backed by an Appalachian chamber folk ensemble, Harnetty\u2019s latest album paints a picture of the divided culture of rural Appalachian Ohio. Each track tells a bit of the story from a different perspective, and all the songs stand out, but\u00a0<em>Shawnee, Ohio\u00a0<\/em>is incredibly cohesive and plays well in its entirety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoy\u201d is the recollection of a young man asking his grandmother what life was like when she was young, set to a mix of banjo, fiddles, and piano that captures the emotion perfectly. Others tell stories of their youth in a town that never quite recovered from a mining disaster, which are eventually contrasted with current-day protests against fracking practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harnetty\u2019s music is like nothing I\u2019ve ever heard. It is understated yet breathtaking. I couldn\u2019t wrap my mind around it initially, but I listened to the record start to finish for 14 straight days, and was moved to tears numerous times.
