Meets 90's pop
The Petersons (LIVE) doing The Cranberries (video) "Dreams"
The Cranberries hit it big with Linger and Delores O' Riordan had a great voice. Died far too young on 01/15/18 for alcohol intoxication. Got me thinking about a beautiful voice singing a cappella in the hollers of my childhood.

That was great! Listened to the whole thing.
Probably not many singers with the strong vocal range needed to pull that off. Really impressive.

It started in the mountains where in the 1920's they still spoke the Queen's English because the areas were so remote. John Jacob Niles (who used to sing for supper at our house) went to these areas and brought the music to a broader audience.
While most of his work was based specifically on the Appalachian area of Eastern Kentucky. It would not gain more national exposure till after WW II and the popularity of Bill Monroe.
Generally you need some key elements
Scotts - Irish population (country dance styles)
Mountains (that kept the populations isolated)
Religion (folks who sang in church)
Poor and working class folks (many songs were work songs, or about work)
Clan system (to spread from isolated areas to other isolated areas)
While the epicenter may have been Eastern Kentucky, it spread via Clan's up and down the Appalachian Mountains so you can find it in West Virginia and Pennsylvania as well.

The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band
The album version is much better sonically, and there are other YouTube versions of him playing the banjo better than what I linked, but you get the idea.
The wife (fiddle/washboard player) is a substantial woman. Yet, when I saw them in concert a long time ago, she worked like a mule on cocaine while playing. Fantastic. Saw them before Flogging Molly on the Green 17 tour twice.

Mr. Grits, meant to tell you I listened to a good bit more of The Petersons after you posted their stuff.
Lots of great covers overall.
