Hobart Smith - In Sacred Trust: The 1963 Fleming Brown Tapes (CD)

Product Description

On this album of never-before-released work, mountain music virtuoso Hobart Smith (1897-1965) plays banjo, fiddle, guitar and piano in addition to singing, clog-dancing, and reminiscing. Taped shortly before he died by fellow banjo player Fleming Brown, Smith brings US back to a vanished era in these deeply personal recordings. Includes an 80-page book, with historical photos, lyrics, and two tablatures.
