recorded by Bill Nowlin & Bill Phillips [1975] & Mark Wilson [1976]
Recorded in 1975 and 1976 in Spivey's Corner, North Carolina, home of the annual National Hollerin' Contest, Hollerin' is folk music at its most basic. A practice born of the need to communicate over distance, Hollerin' has developed into a distinctive, stylized folk art. Hear the masters of Hollerin' in their natural element. Lots of fun to play loud & on repeat until something extraordinarily violent happens. Nonbelievers need only peep the recently unearthed clip below. youngster smiles with hogs in the background at 9:20 :) 320 thx to the originilluminators

'An outstanding collection of 22 songs and tunes first recorded between 1927-1931 by string bands from Ashe County, North Carolina, a mountainous area in the northwest corner of the state once known as “The Lost Provinces” because of its extreme isolation. The music includes traditional fiddle tunes, folk songs, Anglo-Irish ballads, comic songs, topical numbers and original compositions, all from the time period often called the “golden era” of old-time string music. The anthology brings together for the first time the complete recordings of Frank Blevins & His Tar Heel Rattlers, the Carolina Night Hawks, the North Carolina Ridge Runners, and many more.'
the first comp we ever picked up from this superb label sometime last century & still a stunner, due in no small part to the presence of the venerable Grayson & Whitter on several cuts. do yer homework. these are just the kinda jams that make me wanna live waaaaaaay out in the country & a dam fine way to enjoy yer stay on this planet. 320 hillbilly hollers
