Hobart Smith: In Sacred Trust - The Fleming Brown Tapes

Prachtig album in de old time appalachian style uitgebracht door het befaamde label smithsonian folkways in 2005. Speelduur bedraagt ruim 74 minuten.

Hobart smith was a first-class musician and showman, all right. Played by himself. Didn't carry a band. Played all the string instruments, too, and was a mighty fine buck-dancer. He was a good guitar bluesman, a great old-time fiddler, and i'd have to say, he was the best old-time banjo picker i ever heard, so wrote bill monroe, quoted on the back of the cd package; praise indeed!

Hobart smith was certainly all of these and these recordings, made by fellow musician fleming brown shortly before smith's death, capture the essence of this virtuoso of appalachian old-time music. With these 36 tracks, the notes state that smith brings us back to a vanished era in these deeply personal recordings.they certainly do and, as is usual with smithsonian folkways products, the music is handsomely packaged, with an 80-page book, packed with information and photographs. Highly recommended as a showcase for the talents of this talented practitioner of old-time mountain music.
