Some of the earliest musical memories for Soul Step Records owner Melvin Dillon was old time gospel in a boyhood church in the Appalachian Mountains. Same goes for the two women in The Local Honeys. 

The latest release from Soul Step Records is The Local Honeys “The Gospel.” This is the latest release as part of the Footprint Series that Soul Step releases in order to preserve and promote old time Country, Bluegrass, and Folk. 

Owner Melvin Dillon added ”This authentic mountain music is disappearing, and that’s why we have the Footprint Series and why we believe so much in this LP. We have to preserve this music for future generations to appreciate. The Local Honeys grew up in the same mountains as I, heard the same mountain sounds, breathed the same mountain air. This album is a true snapshot into that culture.” 

The Local Honeys are Linda Jean Stokley and Montana Hobbs. They have had a big year, recently dazzling audiences all over Europe opening for Tyler Childers and releasing “The Gospel.” They have dedicated themselves to the preservation of old music and the creation of new music. 

This is the soundtrack of the most rocking mountain church you could find. Lots of foot stompin’, hand clappin’ and the tightest harmonies. Put this record on and let The Local Honeys take you to the mountains and show you The Gospel.
