OMG .. what a surprise .. I just looked up an old vinyl LP I've got, recorded in 1973, featuring the Smokey Mountain Boys. Issued on Rounder Records, No. 0029. Mr Flippin is right there, photo'd when he was a lot younger. In them days, the band's line-up was Benton Flippin (fiddle); Larry Flippen (guitar); Hoyle Jones (mandolin); Paul Sutphin (guitar); and Gilmer Woodruff (banjo). That LP has 100% old-time tunes, played right, in the old way. Great to see Mr Flippen here, still going strong.
