riley puckett cd

Decades before rock & roll, the Skillet Lickers blasted through raucous old-time romps that still sound as fresh and edgy as they must’ve sounded back in the 1920s, when they emerged as hillbilly music’s leading artist. Fiddles endlessly blaze and soar over dance calls and raw, down-home hollers while Riley Puckett’s guitar work keeps it all anchored. Puckett was probably the first star guitarist of old-time music and his unique, single-string style of rhythm guitar–harmonically fluid but rhythmically adventurous–proved essential to the development of bluegrass, not only for early rhythm guitarists, but later on for lead flat-pickers like Doc Watson, who enhanced it and moved it to the foreground. The songs, from “Soldier’s Joy” to “Cackling Hen” to “Dixie” to “Leather Breeches,” fiddlers’ standards even then, remain so today thanks in large part to these historic recordings. –Marc Greilsamer

Best review for Country Varieties #6 CD314

25 early examples of slide guitar playing in Country and Hillbilly music in the 1930′s and 40′s. The Hawaiian guitar sounds were recreated by Country and Blues players in many different ways, the most popular being the ‘sliding’ of a broken off bottle neck and later as an almost compulsory element in every country and western band came the use of the pedal steel guitar. Among the exponents of the early forms of the art or bandleaders who incorporated the instrument are, Jimmie Davis, Cliff Carlisle, The Carter Family and Darby & Tarlton.
