Mr. & Mrs. William Trent and Son

Here is a newly found home recorded 78 RPM acetate disc from the collection of Allen Odom. This is very neat parlor-style banjo picking recorded Feb 2, 1947. If anyone has any info on these folks, please let me know.

Jim Shumate - Bluegrass Fiddler Supreme

I'm sorry I don't have a jacket scan of this album. I don't know much about it either except that he is being backed up by L.W. Lambert's band which would be L.W. on banjo and Ray Cline on guitar, but the rest are unknown to me. It's a good record though, so I hope you'll enjoy it.

The Blue Ridge Partners

Here are a few cuts from some 45s that I found in saggy record cabinet of a hot bluegrass band from the 1970s. These folks really played it right. There are two live cuts here from the 1970 Old Fiddler's Convention: John Henry and Hitchiker's Blues. This has got to be the best version of John Henry I've ever heard. If you don't enjoy this, you don't like bluegrass!


By the way, I just heard that Carl Joiner, fiddler on the 2 live cuts here, passed away in the last week or so.

Freddie Rose Update

This is a follow-up on the Freddie Rose post from 01-29-2009.

I just got 3 more 78s by Freddie Rose, so I thought some of you might like to hear them. This certainly isn't country music by a long shot, but I think its interesting to hear the kind of music Fred Rose played before he got into the publishing arena of country in the '40s and '50s. Personally, I absolutely love this music. Hope you do too.

J.E. Mainer's Mountaineers - King Recordings

Here are 16 of J.E. Mainer's Mountaineer's King sides recorded in 1946. Syd Nathan didn't like fiddle music and this is evident in that the fiddle is really only featured on about 7 out of the 16 sides. Even though J.E. Mainer was the fiddler and that was a big part of his sound, that apparently didn't change Syd Nathan's mind.

I wish I knew the personnel of these sides. Special thanks to Jim, from whose collection these come from, for allowing me to post these here on my blog.

The Blue Ridge Buddies

Here's a group that not too many know anything about. These folks were from in and around Danville, VA. To my knowledge, these are the only commercial recordings that they made. I'm assuming that these sides were recorded somewhere around 1962. Some of you may recognize the bass player, Allen Mills, as the band leader of the popular bluegrass band, The Lost and Found.

The Four Virginians

Here is a group of old timers from my area. This is an 8-track tape that they made in the 1970s sometime. Some of you might interested to know that this band recorded in 1927 for Okeh Records. The personnel was not the same; in fact I think the only member that was at the Okeh session was Richard "Jim" Bigger, the fiddler. This music is an excellent example of the Piedmont style of old time music found in South Central Virginia.

You banjo enthusiasts might be interested to know that the banjo player on this is Posey Roach. Jim Mills now owns Posey's 1940 RB-75. He recorded with it on his album, Hide Head Blues.

Carl Story and his Rambling Mountaineers 1939

Here are some really interesting recordings. This is Carl Story's band in 1939 featuring Johnny Whisnant on the banjo. I'm not going to call this bluegrass, but it sure was a whole lot closer to bluegrass than what Bill Monroe was doing in '39 at least by the banjo pickin. San Antonio Rose is the real jewel of this collection.

I'm unsure of the personnel on this except that it's Carl Story and Johnny Whisnant. Story may be playing fiddle on some of this. I don't actually have the 7" LP that this came out on in 1973, so my information is limited. Just take it for what it is, and enjoy!

Bill Harrell and the Virginians

Here's a great LP by Bill Harrell and his Virginian from the early 1960s. In my opinion, this album represents some of Bill Harrell's greatest recordings. You may notice a tune on this album called Signal of the Banjo. Well this is more popularly known as Banjo Signal: popularized by Don Reno. This is played on this record, by Smiley Hobbs, the writer of the tune. Signal of the Banjo is also the original title of the tune.

Charlie Monroe - Starday LPs

Here are two LPs that Charlie Monroe recorded during his retirement from the music industry. The first LP, Charlie Monroe Sings Again, was recorded somewhere around 1960 for Bob Mooney at REM Records. The second LP, Lord Build Me a Cabin, I assume was recorded at about the same time, but I'm not sure about this. In fact, I have no concrete information on the latter LP. I assume also that the personnel is the same on both records.
