After Boggs, the Appalachian singer/banjoist who had released a dozen sides in the late '20s, was rediscovered by Mike Seeger in 1963, he did some recording for Folkways Records.

Every Sound Below

by
Tim Eriksen
The cover of Every Sound Below notes that Tim Eriksen had something to do with the Cold Mountain soundtrack, but it's almost hard to believe that something so traditional would have been included in a commercially made Civil War melodrama. Be that as it may, Every Sound Below is so much of a throwback to yesteryear that one could almost take the ...

by
The Dillards
Varese's First Time Live compiles 16 live performances recorded in 1962 by the original lineup of the seminal bluegrass band. As should be expected, this is a gem in the rough, capturing the band as they're finding their distinctive voice. Even though this music was recorded within the band's first year of existence, the band is still surprisingly ...

Hobart Smith
These intimate tracks featuring Hobart Smith playing banjo, guitar, fiddle, and piano were recorded in October, 1963 at Fleming Brown's home in Chicago, and while they were never intended for commercial release, they add up to a well-rounded portrait of this immensely talented old-timey musician. There doesn't seem to have been an instrument that ...

Mountain Blues: Blues, Ballads & String Bands 1927-1938
(2005)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Country has been called the white man's blues, but the phrase has probably only been truly accurate when applied to the so-called hillbilly records from the 1920s and 1930s, the period and genre covered by this four-disc, 100-track anthology from JSP. Not that everything here is actually blues (the string band selections in particular are really ...

Flatt & Scruggs
While the first Flatt & Scruggs box on Bear Family documented the band's development over its first 11 years -- 1948-1959 -- this set captures the band at the height of its meteoric rise to fame into the stuff of legend. First and foremost, Flatt & Scruggs eclipsed the fame of their mentor, Bill Monroe by having six charting singles in Billboard ...

Released in February 2003, Kentucky Mountain Music is the type of box set that will have old-time music lovers drawing up their holiday wish-list early. A roots music novice will probably question the size and scope of the set: Why would one state, after all, need seven full discs to document its music? But devotees know that (a) Yazoo wouldn't ...

It's always good to have a reason to celebrate, and when a small independent folk label reaches the age of 30, it's definitely an event requiring commemoration. The 68 tracks here, spread over three CDs, serve as a reminder as to the depth and breadth of the Fellside label's catalog. A lot of it is quite stunning, not only tracks from luminaries ...
