Drawing from a repertoire of authors as diverse as Mel Tillis, Jean Ritchie and original compositions from each group member, The New Coon Creek Girls showcase inherent talent with sharp, driving instrumentation on this album.
   Pickin', fiddlin, and harmonizin' their way through the 15 cuts included on this album, The New Coon Creek Girls have captured the heart of bluegrass and stand poised to lead the next generation of fans into the next millennium.
   Reverance for the genre is rampant thorughout this disc, and most evident in the title cut. This portrayal of present-day development in the Appalachian coal fields is indicative of the imagery and subject matter contained on the album.
   The a cappella "Brand New Home" and "Hammer & Nails" evoke visions of mountain church revivals, while the instrumental "Possum Kingdom" will have you drying the fresh mountain dew from between your toes. The final cut on the album, "Burning Love," is a heady cover of the classic Elvis tune.
   The L&N Don't Stop Here Anymore is a captivating collection of songs that highlights the skill and artistry of The New Coon Creek Girls. The album's only fault is that it ends.
