So far non of the links have been Hillbilly Music. Here are some
examples in its more sophisticated and polished form. I believe the
origins are from the Irish and Scottish immigrants who came to work in
the Appalachian coal mines. The original instruments were more crude. It
incorporates the African influence brought by the slave trade. Besides
Bill Monroe and Del McCoury who got his start playing with Bill some
others were the Delmore Brothers, the Louvin Brothers, the Blue Sky Boys
and of course the Stanley Brothers. Check out the sound track from "O
Brother, Where Art Thou?"
