Hobart was surely one of the most important traditional banjo pickers ever recorded, a player whose music strongly influenced (and inspired) many revival banjoists. He was also a straight-ahead singer of old-time songs and ballads, sometimes with guitar accompaniment. This album was recorded at WFMT in Chicago while Hobart was performing at a festival in that city, one of his few excursions out of his native Blue Ridge Mountains. For anyone interested in traditional American 5-string banjo styles, this is an essential recording. Album Tracks 1. Soldier's Joy 2. Ped and Awl 3. The Great Titanic 4. Black Annie 5. Sally Ann 6.
