Ebony Hillbillies

Crackuh, pleazzze

You just can't beat Old Timey! It has Celtic and African influences. Like all the best music, it's from the working class!

OMG--great music.

OMG black hillbillies cool!

I see these guys now and again on the subway around 42nd St. I have 2 of their CDs which are good but I like them better live. You just don't expect to hear it in Manhattan so it puts you in a good mood. Some people call it mountain music I think.

Bluegrass is nothing more than Jazzed up (Bebop like) Old time/string band music. Go look up what Bill Monroe said his music was composed of! Black String bands/old time music has always existed (ask Dock Boggs) but the record companys didn't record much of it.

I would invite these boys to any social, these guys are the honest real McCoys.

thanx joan

I really do love this band's music. You can't beat a fiddle and a banjo and bass fiddle and the washboard. I like the sound of the washboard using either the fingers or the brush like this young gentlemen is using. They are all terrific. Thank you for posting. - Paula

These guys are great!
