MissouriPicker Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Great music. Pure folk/americana/country/appalachian, all of the above music. Sadly, I don't think people like Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, and many other current stars even know it exist. If they do, they rarely, if ever, play it. It's too dated, archiac, non-relevant. About the only big name that pays tribute to his musical heritage is Marty Stuart. Most people don't feel they can "jive" to this music, but it sure-as-hell tells the story of who and what we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merseybeat1963 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 The fiddle player strikes such an impression.. almost as if he is from 1850...playing those notes with that look on his face.. And then there is this frail hunched over once great American supported spiritually & vocally by these ladies. Beautifull & Sad.. hard to pin point words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 For me - when I think of American Music it is always Hazel Dickens (who also just recently passed away) who jumps to mind. I am lucky enough to have seen her several times during her days with Alice Gerrard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Notice that this one is recorded at the Ryman Auditorium, former Grand Old Opry venue, in Nashville. They may have pulled up the floorboards and taken out the pews, but the music still echoes and is still performed in the hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
