Dock Boggs - Legendary Singer and Banjo Player

Originally released in 1964, this is the first of three volumes that Boggs recorded for the Folkways label after being rediscovered by Mike Seeger during the folk revival of the early 60s. Incredible, sparse and haunting country blues featuring only Dock’s banjo and voice. Absolutely essential Appalachian folk music lovingly reissued in a perfect replica of the original Folkways jacket and including a reproduction of the original information booklet.
