Born in northern Georgia, Bobby Mountain got in contact with music in his early teen years. In the local church choir or in the one of his school, he learned about his vocal abilities which inspired him to follow the path of a musical career. It took almost ten years after his debut Genuine Leather and Dixie Bound to finish the current album Holding On. Mountaiin has penned all eleven tracks.

Haste makes waste or as Mountain states in his liner notes: Good things come to those who wait. And he did take this saying as a guideline. Many years he wrote songs, changed and rearranged things until he got to the studio to record the tracks and give the project it's final shape. Old Style Country is what Mountain calls his music. And that's no negative term at all.

Tracks such as Guitar Song or Build A Fire are very catchy tunes which embrace the listener and make him wanting more. Remains the hope that it won't take another ten years until Mountain's next project - or maybe it will? It may be exactly this fact of a long development cycle that creates the appeal ofthis album.
