“Wow, I just heard Amanda Cook’s version of ‘Down in the Quarter,’ and that song could have been written for her. I’ve always loved this song, and I have to say, Amanda’s version is better than mine. Hers is the definitive recording of it. I only wish Tommy Overstreet were still with us. He had the first recording of the song, and I’m sure he would have loved Amanda’s version, too.” ~ Charlie Sizemore

Following the success of Amanda Cook’s single “Ghost Town,” Mountain Fever Records is excited to share Cook’s highly anticipated new single, “Down in the Quarter,” a fresh and compelling interpretation of a song with a rich history, originally recorded by Tommy Overstreet before Charlie Sizemore brought his own bluegrass interpretation to the song on his Gravel Road album. Written by acclaimed songwriter Sonny Tackett, the song holds a special place in Cook’s musical journey and reflects her desire to breathe new life into a timeless piece of bluegrass songwriting while introducing it to a new generation of listeners.

Joining Cook on the recording is an accomplished group of musicians who bring their own distinctive talents to the track. Amanda Cook handles lead vocals, with Carolyne Van Lierop Boone on banjo and harmony vocals, Troy Boone on mandolin and harmony vocals, Justin Alexander on guitar, George Mason on fiddle, and Joshua Faul on bass. Together, the musicians create a recording that stays rooted in the traditional bluegrass spirit of the song while giving it a fresh and contemporary energy.

“Down in the Quarter” is ultimately a song Cook believes stands the test of time. Beautifully written and emotionally honest, it continues to remind her of why she fell in love with the song in the first place. With her new recording, she hopes longtime fans of Sizemore’s version will rediscover the song while a whole new audience gets the opportunity to experience Tackett’s exceptional songwriting.
