Description
Riley Puckett was one of the pioneers of country music, a singer whose output both as a solo performer and as a member of the supergroup the Skillet Lickers left an indelible mark on the work produced in his wake. He was born George Riley Puckett on May 7, 1894, in Alpharetta, GA; though at birth he had the ability to see, a medical mishap during his infancy left him blind. He attended the Macon School for the Blind, where he learned to read Braille and began playing the banjo, followed by the guitar, developing a unique, arhythmic style of playing bass-note runs to bridge chord changes. He also attracted attention at regional fiddling contests.
Ted Hawkins was one of the first mandolin player in the history of country music and exerted influence on a next generation of musicians who should develop the Bluegrass. Hawkins is often taken as a teacher in terms of guitar for Riley Puckett, one of the most influential and most individual guitarists of the Old-time music, combined.
