Everybody's Tuned to the Radio: Rural Music Traditions in West Georgia, 1947-1979
Center for Public History
CD
$13 |
"This unique collection of banjo and fiddle tunes, hillbilly boogies and ballads, sanctified singing, and down-home radio chatter pays tribute to the pickers, singers, and radio personalities who have helped shape, preserve and promote rural music traditions in the West Georgia Piedmont. It evokes a by-gone era of live music programs by local entertainers on a small-town radio station in the South during the years after World War II." An extra 50 Miles shout-out for the Storey Sisters, one of the most rocking "hillbilly" acts I've heard, all revved up and ready for a good party. The set contains 33 tracks, coupled with a handsome and detailed 28-page booklet. Good luck finding another CD that contains such an enthusiastic sales pitch for ground hog.
