Buell Kazee
From the 1920s until his death in 1976, Buell Kazee was a Kentucky-born master of Appalachian folk music. Often referred to as the best high-lonesome singer ever, his voice is crisp and high-timbered and capable of devastating expressiveness in banjo-and-vocal-only songs, which are the very basis of so much folk and country music. Religion, lost love, and good old-fashioned misery are the major subjects for songs as simple and great as anything by Lead Belly or Woody Guthrie. Kazee was something of a professor of mountain music; for a number of years he offered symposiums on the style, performing old-time songs accompanied by his expert banjo playing. In the late '20s and early '30s, Kazee recorded for the Brunswick label and committed to tape an extensive number of traditional Appalachian songs -- a catalog that serves today as a starting point for many early American music enthusiasts.
