Two More HOG...ish CDs

The music recorded here is strongly tied to the southern mountain region of the United States, yet it is peppered with music from other roots.  There is a union song by Joe Hill and other tunes that have a western flavor.  There is even a newer song by Utah Phillips, but it sounds old to  me. Enjoy.  H.

Great old fiddle and banjo music with a real back-porch feel.  You can almost hear the rocking chair keeping time to the music being put out by these two fine old-time musicians. Some of these tracks have been used in TV documentaries because they so nicely evoke a bygone era.
