Description
The LoneTone's new album, Nature Hatin' Blues is dedicated to hometowns and misfits everywhere, mountains and people who fight to save them, the soil we grew up in. To a certain degree, the dedication sums up both the album and the band. The music is deeply rooted in the mountains of Appalachia, but is also subject to the ruminations of those who try to escape their steep mountain walls.
PRESS QUOTES:
I am grateful for whatever divine force brought Steph Gunnoe and Sean McCollough together. In addition to their marriage and family, their union has also spawned incredibly beautiful original Americana music. This follow up to their wonderful debut CD, Useful, which included the popular single Little Thing, finds the band in a more contemplative mood on Nature Hatin Blues. .While Nature Hatin Blues explores several thorny topics, the songwriting is striking and their delivery is, as always, very moving and very engaging. The Lonetones sophomore effort will not disappoint. There is plenty of what weve come to know, love and expect from the band, but their contemplative mood on Nature Hatin Blues demonstrates thoughtful growth in their new work. Diehard fans and new comers will not be disappointed.

"The Lonetones occupy that most treacherous area of folk music - the dreaded land of the sensitive singer-songwriter. However, prejudices need to be swept aside for The Lonetones. The band's music is absolutely charming....
Gunnoe's voice has the sweetness of Nanci Griffith, without the preciousness. It's Appalachian and honest and never overused. Likewise, her melodies and lyrics are smart, catchy and distinctive...."
- Wayne Bledsoe, Knoxville News Sentinel
....It's more than just a statement about Mother Nature; it's a treatise on human nature as well: "I've got the nature hatin' blues / each time we win we surely lose / the signs and symptoms can be found / disharmony bringing us down / I wanna bring it back, I wanna fit back in / I wanna be a part of nature again ..."
"We spent a lot of time thinking about what we do to the environment and ourselves," Gunnoe told The Daily Times this week. "I just think we kind of hate our own nature, and when we sort of deny ourselves, we deny nature at the same time. It's meant to look at both, because it's hard to separate them."
-Steve Wildsmith, Maryville Daily Times
