The Bentley Boys


Here's a great record by a great group that is thought to be from Western North Carolina. No one really knows who the Bentley Boys are, but they had a really great group. This record was recorded Oct. 23, 1929 in Johnson City, TN and is the only record they ever made.

    'Down on Penny's Farm' is the song Bob Dylan based his 'Hard Times in New York Town' on ?

    totally cool to find another Benltleys recording in addition to the often anthologized "Penny's Farm"--especially one having to do with chicken.
