Free Music Notes for The High Lonesome Sound
Free Music Review: Roscoe Holcomb is on my list for the best ever.
Hit: 5 Stars
I was first introduced to the music of Roscoe Holcomb when I became interested in folk music in the early 1960's. I regard his recording of "Little Bessie" to be amongst the best recorded songs I have ever heard. I was fortunate enough to attend a raucus Gary Davis concert in Edmonton, Alberta in 1970?, and that is about the only time I have ever seen a man deliver as heart felt songs as Roscoe did on the "High Lonesome Sound." And I would like to add an unmeasurable thanks to the Folkways people for the incredible gift they have given the world.Free Music Review: A much needed reissue
Hit: 5 Stars
I can imagine Roscoe Holcomb simply sitting on his porch with a banjo or guitar making music to give his harsh life some sense and permanence. A couple of listens to this disc and you realize he succeeded. There are cuts here like "Village Chuchyard" that you simply can't shake off. Take a chance, buy it and listen to a master.Free Music Review: Roscoe Holcombe is as important as Charlie Patton
Hit: 5 Stars
Some people can't tap into the essence of this because it's so intense to listen to; it's as hard to go through the motions of listening to this as it is easy for Kristin Hersh to do her "thang."
