Always Been a Rambler - G.B. Grayson and Henry Whitter, Country Music Pioneers of Southern Appalachia (Paperback)

G.B. Grayson and Henry Whitter were two of the most influential artists in the early days of country music. Songs they popularized, like "Tom Dooley," "Little Maggie," "Handsome Molly," and "Nine Pound Hammer," are still staples of traditional music. Although the duo sold tens of thousands of records during the 1920s, the peak of their career, the details of their lives have been largely unknown, until now. Featuring never before published photographs and using interviews from friends and relatives, as well as contemporary scholarship, this book is the first to fully explore the lives and songs of G.B. Grayson and Henry Whitter. It also examines the Southern Appalachian world that shaped their music. What emerges is a fascinating mixture of romantic intrigues, tragic deaths, and world-class music.
