This is from Virginia Roots Music. A colletion of recordings made in 1929 or about, to capture the sound of the time. This piece is my great-great-grandparents with my mom sitting on the chair. They were called the Greene County Singers.The Carter Family was there competion.
my mother was born and raised in rural quebec, canada in the 1940s and 50s. she played piano by ear and when i was a child she used to sing and play all different songs to me at night (including this one) which i later found out were all popular folk and country and western songs from the 1920s to 60s. wicked!
Wild! The damage that the recording has received over the years makes it even psychedelic. I'm gonna have to learn this one. Sounds like the old C tuning on the banjo?
Amazing music, with passion and some natural talent, i love me some american and bluegrass.

Father, dear Father, come home with me now
The clock in the steeple strikes one
You said you were coming right home from the shop
As soon as your day's work was done
The fire is all out, the house is all dark
And Mother's been watching since tea
With poor little Benny so sick in her arms
And no one to help her but me
Come home, come home, come home
Please Father, dear Father, come home
