Regarding FlyingTiger64, it is easy to dis' a man that can not defend himself. It is a shame you could not express your opinion to Roscoe and some of his Kin Folk to their faces.
FlyingTiger64 you come and place your judgement upon a man that you, yourself have done less than Roscoe. FlyingTiger64, every bum has an opinion as you have shared yours. I will not allow you to insult Roscoe.
He is a great musician. Just like Elmore James or any of the old time Bluesmen... they played with their souls and so did Roscoe. I'll take this over any boring, cold Steve Vai or Stevie Ray Vaughn or whatever. You can practice all day long and play all kinds of complex shit in perfect tune but it doesn't mean anything if there's no soul.
@fenderuwe Yes it's all subjective. SRV just never did anything for me, never made me feel a thing. Sounded like a computer. His brother Jimme, on the other hand, is pretty good. Music should make you feel something, like Holcomb, or like Elmore James, Robert Johnson, Etta James. Jerry Lee Lewis.
These types of voices, lee sexton, Doc Watson, are all beautiful voices, they aren't conventional by any means. But they all have sorrow, and soul and hurt behind them, and many many years of experience and old age, something that most of us will never experience with our spoiled lifestyles. Bluegrass has nothing on the mountain music of Kentucky, and its a bastard form of something great.
Great music does not always define it's self with perfect pitch, intonation, and tuning. As great writing is not built from perfect spelling and able speed on the typewriter. Many of our best writer miss-spelled, spelled phonetically, or simply made up their own punctuation. If music like writing depended on these mechanical parameters to define greatness, all court stenographers would be great authors.
I'am not american and i never dig some coal (sorry for my bad english) ... but this man and his banjo are great ... i think Holcomb song are for the soul/heart not for ears ^^
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You must not be a musician. I am, and I can tell you that Roscoe, at least by the time of this recording, was not an very talented banjo player. And he obviously wasn't a very talented singer. I think the music he was singing and playing is much more notable than he was, and I suspect that it's the rarity of such a recording that you find intriguing. As for emotion, there's emotion in all music. A weak excuse for mediocre talent.
I suspect he played and sang better when he was younger.
I don't care what Eric Clapton said about Roscoe. I can hear, and I can play a banjo... and I'm telling you that Roscoe's banjo is out of tune, he doesn't play it very well, and he was just a mediocre musician/singer at best. But if you like him, that's fine!! He doesn't have to be great to be worthwhile. It's art, and beauty is in the eye (and the ear) of the beholder. I'm just keeping it real, Mr. Patton. I mean no offense to you or anyone else.
Haven't a soul? Let me ask you a couple of questions - are you an American? Have you ever actually seen a banjo in person? Could you tune one if your life depended on it? My comments weren't meant as a personal attack towards you, but now you've turned it towards me, so let's see what YOU know. Are you a musician? Do you know ANYTHING about this music? I live in the shadow of the blue ridge, and it's a REAL part of my life, not just an anthropological curiosity. Haven't a soul indeed...
That is over and done with, but I will say this you are right he needs to know the roots before giving his opinion. I play banjo in a NEW GRASS BAND and I'm Indian, & Irish still considered a Yank, but you can't blame all yanks because of one Person that doesn't know his History on the Roots of Grass such as MR Bill Monroe learning from the Black Blues Artist .That is a Quote from himself. You can hear the Blues in his playing.
Eric Clapton? You would select HIM as a source of expertise and judgement on Appalachian music and musical talent in that genre? Really?? Are you kidding me??? I'm sorry, but for you to even say that shows me how very little you know about it. Eric Clapton?? You've GOTTA be kidding.
God knows how many times I laid up in an old confederate cemetery with a bottle of wine singin this song wanting to "dig a hole in the meadow" be laid down in that "cold cold ground"

Regarding Roscoe Holcomb - he's certainly authentic, and there is a lot of soul in his playing and singing... but to call him a great musician or singer isn't accurate by any stretch of the imagination. His banjo was out of tune, his playing was quite sloppy at times, and his singing was, well...
Ok, ok I get it. It's the authenticity that makes it notable and worthwhile - and I agree with that. This is where Bluegrass came from. But "great musician"?? Everyone is entitled to an opinion.
That's a matter of opinion. But emotion and technical ability are not mutually exclusive - and that's a fact. Hey, if you dig you some Roscoe, that's cool. I was just pointing out what's painfully obvious to anyone who isn't deaf.
Regarding FlyingTiger64, it is easy to dis' a man that can not defend himself. It is a shame you could not express your opinion to Roscoe and some of his Kin Folk to their faces.
You come and place your judgement upon a man that you, yourself have done less than Roscoe. FlyingTiger64, every bum has an opinion as you have shared yours. I will not allow you to insult Roscoe.
@lishsboy are you an idiot? i posted this video for people to enjoy, and i stated that i believe "being able to convey some sort of emotion is more important then technical ability "
whats that have to do with proving how good i can play my banjo?? maybe you cant comprehend what you've read, but im on roscoe's side.
@johnnymccrowe hahaha this is funny "Roscoe's side eh?" The last thing Roscoe Holcomb could care about is some comment someone made about him on the internet. I agree with you , if you don't like Roscoe Holcomb then you either don't like the banjo, or your too wrapped up in the difference between "bluegrass" and "old time music." Roscoe Holcomb was a hard working man with a voice that chilled to the bone, his life ,his work and his mind set helped shape America into what it is. R.I.P. Roscoe !

@FlyingTiger64 Definently agree with jonnymccrowe. Since you consider his singing to be...well is why i discredit your statement totally. Why would I want to listen to a singer with a pretty voice? This is the voice of a real man playing real music conveying real emotions through his banjo and voice.
@FlyingTiger64 joe satriani and steve vai play with their guitars in tune but that doesnt stop them being boring as batshit. beyonce and that dick from creed can both sing like birds but that dont stop them putting out the most tiresome drivel ever recorded. i guess its true what they say about opinions and arseholes. everyones got one.

@donthavenosn are you kidding me? this is what i listen to when i want a good laugh! the willaim hung of the south! You want music at its best? listen to led and pink!
@mrdjchasm As ignorant as your statement is, it probably doesn't deserve a reply but you struck a nerve. Where do you think Zeppelin got their inspiration? From, among other things, English and American roots Music. This will be remembered long after you and I are dust. The only way Zep will be remembered is that their name will brought up when folks talk about who ripped off Willie Dixon the most. And I don't think I have enough space left to insult your out-of-date william hung reference
@TylerSDodson Hahahaha! Have you ever even studied music? Music History? Music Appreciation? People who are remembered in music are those that made an Impact. The game changers. The people who threw a wrench in the machine and changed it up. Its either that or the people that copied them and knew a bit more about marketing. (Im referring to classical music as well). Its awesome cause his voice is unique. Not because he is a talented musician and definitely not because he was a talented singer.
@TylerSDodson Oh one last thing... I had no idea who Willie Dixon was so I looked him up. Loved his music. But Led is pretty different. Led will continue to be recognized as a rock icon throughout the next 50 years while Willie will, sadly, not be known by the majority of Americans in 10 years time.
@mrdjchasm How can you talk to me about music history when you didn't know who Willie Dixon was? Without him, Led Zeppelin and more than likely quite a few other rock bands wouldn't be around. He actually sued Led Zeppelin and won. . . . In fact a few people have sued Led Zeppelin. There are quite a few cases so I won't list them here but check it, don't take my word for it. Maybe it's true what they say, "good artists borrow, great artists steal."
@mrdjchasm i am a led zep fan but i hope you are wrong people who seek out the history of music will always know who people like willie dixon were, thats like saying no one knows who mozart was, sure the majority of people will listen to whatever the mainstream says is good but to those true music fans that seek out real music they will always know what came before
Wish you had an actual video of this awesome AMERICAN putting it down.

right out of the blues...the only shame is, he died too young.
It´s all because of different tastes and so on but I´d never call SRV a ´cold´

@TylerSDodson Oh one last thing... I had no idea who Willie Dixon was so I looked him up. Loved his music. But Led is pretty different. Led will continue to be recognized as a rock icon throughout the next 50 years while Willie will, sadly, not be known by the majority of Americans in 10 years time.

@mrdjchasm How can you talk to me about music history when you didn't know who Willie Dixon was? Without him, Led Zeppelin and more than likely quite a few other rock bands wouldn't be around. He actually sued Led Zeppelin and won. . . . In fact a few people have sued Led Zeppelin. There are quite a few cases so I won't list them here but check it, don't take my word for it. Maybe it's true what they say, "good artists borrow, great artists steal."

@mrdjchasm i am a led zep fan but i hope you are wrong people who seek out the history of music will always know who people like willie dixon were, thats like saying no one knows who mozart was, sure the majority of people will listen to whatever the mainstream says is good but to those true music fans that seek out real music they will always know what came before
