Wasn't Byron Parker the announcer of the Monroe Brotehrs and the leader of his own band, Byron Parker's Hillbillies? I thought he died in 1939. Red Barn was active at least between 1948-1951. Seems that the Hillbillies kept on playing without Parker... do you have any info on that?
ReplyDeleteByron Parker recorded post war, from memory he had a few releases on the DeLUXE label, which probably pre date this RED BARN release.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think you're right. Parker died in 1948 and after his death, the Hillbillies (also called Mountaineers in later days as I learned) became the Hired Hands. So these recordings may have been cut around 1948.
ReplyDeleteYep - he was very much alive. Most of the fine 1940 Bluebird sides were reissued on an Old Homestead LP appropiately titled Bluegrass Roots. I believe an expanded version is now on CD.
ReplyDeleteDave Sax.
This would be Snuffy Jenkins on banjo, so the recording is likely 1939-1940
ReplyDeleteMy uncle was Byron Parker he also had a stand in guitar player name Floyd Lacewell does anyone know what happened to Floyd
