Close To Home (180 gram pressing)
LP (Item 611799) Folkways, 1975 — Condition: New Copy
Amazing sounds from Roscoe Holcomb – a set recorded in the mid 70s, but one with a timeless quality that belies Holcomb's deep roots in eastern Kentucky! All tunes feature just a bit of guitar or banjo, and Holcomb's incredible vocals – inflected with a life's worth of rich experience into a mode that's almost more blues than folk at points – a key illustration of the way the genres can blur across cultural lines, if you know where to look. Titles include "Motherless Children", "Train That Carried My Girl From Town", "Frankie & Johnny", "In London City", "Walk Around My Bedside", and "The Village Churchyard". (Super-heavy vinyl and cover – just like an original Folkways pressing!) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | ||||||
