Mountain Fever Records has released the new album, Final Chapter, by Lost & Found.
Final Chapter is a remarkable heritage album celebrating the band’s 50th Anniversary as one of the most influential bands in bluegrass music.
Most of the tracks on Final Chapter were recorded in late 2013 by Sammy Shelor, sound engineer, at Mountain Fever Studios in Willis, VA. Mountain Fever Records owner Mark Hodges recently came across the “lost” hard drive containing the recordings that appear on Final Chapter.
I would like to give a huge thank you to Mark Hodges at Mountain Fever Record for encouraging me to get this album out. I really enjoyed laying down each track. It was such a pleasure to work and record with the entire group – Allen Mills.
Lost & Found
