On "Gone Away with a Friend," Frank Newsome sings a more than four-century-long American tradition into the present. His arresting style—the lined-out hymn singing of the Old Regular Baptists from the borderlands of Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia—is a direct sonic ancestor to old-time, bluegrass, and gospel. In 2011, Frank won an NEA Heritage Fellowship, the highest honor for a folk artist.
