2009, Monk
VINYL FORMAT. Born in North Carolina in 1892, singer and banjo player Charlie Poole is often considered to be one of the grandfathers of bluegrass and modern country music. Poole recorded 60 songs during the 1920s for Columbia Records with his wildly popular North Carolina Ramblers, so this LP is a small sampling of some of his very best songs, many of which, like his first big hit for Columbia, "Don't Let Your Deal Go Down Blues" are blues standards. His North Carolina Ramblers sold huge numbers of records for the time and Poole became one of the first country music stars.
