A decade ago, Chatham County Line seemed like a tongue-in-cheek lark: country-rock guys dressing up to play bluegrass old style, gathered 'round a single microphone. But from the start, the music was always a lot better than simple novelty fare. Chatham County Line long ago stopped being just a side project. Ten years and five albums into a solid career, the group is going stronger than ever and has a fine new album to show off, "Wildwood" (Yep Roc Records). Hear it live Saturday at Carrboro's Cat's Cradle. Doors open at 8 p.m. and tickets are $12 ($16 day of show). See catscradle.com for details.
