Hobart was surely one of the most important traditional banjo pickers ever recorded, a player whose music strongly influenced (and inspired) many revival banjoists. He was also a straight-ahead singer of old-time songs and ballads, sometimes with guitar accompaniment.
This album was recorded at WFMT in Chicago while Hobart was performing at a festival in that city, one of his few excursions out of his native Blue Ridge Mountains. This was hie first solo album, recorded in 1963. For anyone interested in traditional American 5-string banjo styles, this is an essential recording.
