@jacquot8 It is an A. C. Fairbanks Whyte Laydie No. 2. It was probably made in the early 1900s. I believe they began production in 1901. They sell for up to $5000 anymore. A few months ago I wondered the same thing as you, so I did a bunch of research to find the model. It took forever to find it. Nowhere online does it say "this is the kind of banjo Isaac Brock plays." Oh, and if you wanted a simpler explanation, it is an old openback 5 string banjo.

God Damn, that drummer is getting really into it. I don't blame him.

@FerdinandSlater hahahaha so true ^^
-
This performance doesn't do the song justice
-
@Flea817 True true but there seems to be a lot more range in his yelping here, in a sort of Tom Waits way, do you hear it? To be specific listen to the chorus right before the bridge.
-
@ChiefGuideMaster I wish he would've in this song, but he's definitely really pushed his screaming abilities in countless other studio recordings.
-
Are the high vocals on the album not Isaac?
-
Its to bad he never pushed his vocals like this in the studio. What pity.
-
gotta be one of their best live performances
