Music
The Carter Family immortalized the mountain in their 1928 song "My Clinch Mountain Home." A fiddle tune called "Clinch Mountain Backstep" (attributed to Ralph Stanley) is in the Appalachian folk repertoire. Also, the first line of the classic folk song "Rye Whiskey" begins, "Way up on Clinch Mountain I wandered alone - I'm drunk as a devil and a long way from home."

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“O I shall hear skull skull,
Hear your lame music,
Believe music rejects undertaking,
Limps back.”

“Thy remembrance, and repentance, and deep musings are not free
From the music of two voices and the light of one sweet smile.”
