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.
