Banjo Songs of the Southern Mountains (1955)

This record is a compilation of American folk songs on the Banjo released by Riverside Records. The musicians in it are: Obray Ramsey, Henry Gentry, George Pegram, Walter Parham, Harry & Jeanie West, and 'Aunt' Samantha Bumgarner.



This record belonged to my grandfather who was involved in Chicago's Folk scene during the 1950's. He played the Banjo, but from what I have heard from relatives; he wasn't very good at it. He gave me this record along with some others for Christmas a few years ago.
