Country Music
The way you remember it!
This month we're going to something a bit different. We've been wanting to do this for
a few years now, but something always seemed to come up. But this year, we're going to
introduce you to a few folks who are part of country music history that is perhaps not touched
upon very often during what is termed Black History Month or African-American History Month.
The folks we'll feature here, some you will know, others you may learn about for the first
time, but they are a part of country music's history. We'll be adding more as the month goes along.
And one of the biographies, well, we have to tell you, is going to be a work in progress
for a while as it is a bit personal.
McDonald Craig -
McDonald was first exposed to couuntry music listening to old Jimmie Rodgers recordings.
When you listen to him sing such tunes as "Sleep, Baby, Sleep", you'll hear that influence
by Jimmie Rodgers. You might even wonder, why did we not hear more of this fellow.
You'll learn he and his family have another unique aspect to their history as well
when you read about his career, thanks to Mike Johnson.
Stoney Edwards -
He was from Oklahoma, and found his place in country music history when
fans heard his "Last Night A Two Dollar Toy Made A Million Dollar Daddy Out of Me" tune.
He recorded for Capitol Records and had a string of hits over the years.
Mike Johnson -
We've featured Mike before, he's known as country music's Black Yodeler.
If you ever have a chance to hear him perform or listen to his signature 'Black Yodel No. 1',
you'll be tapping your feet along with his tunes. He's also introduced to a few others
as well.
Linda Martel -
Linda was one of the few black female singers we've found during our research.
She was a native of South Carolina. One night, a country singer was watching
her perform and challenged her to do a country tune. One thing led to another
including a recording contract and appearances on the Grand Ole Opry and Ernest
Tubb's Midnight Jamboree. But she missed her family and gave up her professional
career and returned to South Carolina.
Keep clicking around - there's always something new
spopping up on Hillbilly-Music.com.
