“Clarence Ashley was born on 29 September 1895 in Bristol, Tennessee. He learnt to play banjo beginning at age 8, his mother and aunts teaching him Appalachian folk songs and ballads. In 1911, at age 16, he joined a travelling medicine show, playing banjo and guitar where he travelled the South acquiring a vast repertoire of songs in the process. His solo banjo work and vocals are so stark and bare, there’s no doubt he lived every word and note. There’s also full band recordings. The set also features Clarence Green, Gwen Foster, Byrd Moore, Will Abernathy, Blue Ridge Mountain Entertainers and Carolina Tar Heels.”
