Free Music Review: Uncle Dave Sure Do Shine
Hit: 4 Stars

Uncle Dave was the last of his generation, an entertainer who spand was from the 1870s until the 1950s, and one of the first big stars of the Grand Ole Oprey. Well, it wouldn't matter if these records had been made about a 18 year old guy from Westwood in LA. Uncle Dave is great.

He's a good banjo picker--although his showmanship, sympathy for his age, braggadocio, and now and then having his accompanyiest the Great Sam McGhee pick in his place in behind the curtain banjo competitions more than his playing is more responsible for his reputation as a great banjo playor or the best.

However, what he really is is a great entertainer. These records are fun. Dave is whooping it up, he's giving you emotion, mostly happy motiion. You get the product of a person that this music is fun, not some dry, vestigial, documentary rendition. This stuff is fun, not history, for laughter and joy, and you are as close to seeing the show, to enjoying a pro as you can be from a record with these tunes.

My favorite here is Sail Away Ladies. I find it very hard to listen to this without taking out my banjo or guitar.

keep picking Dave

Go Long Mule Poster

Born just five years after the Civil War in the beautifully named Smart Station, Tennessee, the Country Music Hall of Famer David Harrison Macon didn't even have a stage career until he was nearly 50 years old. A born showman, he soon became the Grand Ol' Opry's first bona-fide star, amusing audiences with antics like clogdancing, high kicking, and throwing his banjo into the air and passing it between his legs while continuing to play. Go Long Mule is vintage Dixie Dewdrop, showcasing his old-time clawhammer banjo on string band ensemble numbers like "Rock About Saro Jane" and "She's Got the Money, Too." One of country music's first and most influential stars, Macon continued to play the Grand Ol' Opry until just three weeks before his death at the age of 81.
