"Glory Hope Mountain" was one of 2008's best releases you probably missed. Released by the small Canadian label Paper Bag Records, the album was essentially a beautiful research project in which lead singer Rolf Klausener got in touch with his mother and their South American history and roots. Each song takes influence from the life story of Gloria Montoya Esperanza, as told by her son. "Glory Hope Mountain" is part historical narrative and part fairy tale, but the result is an intensely personal and heartfelt record full of wonderful, rich folk songs.
