KENNY HALL AND THE LONG HAUL STRING BAND 'Kenny Hall And The Long Haul String Band'
Here is a re-issue of an old LP featuring 16 old-time tunes played by this 4-member band from the west coast. Featured is the fiddling and mandolin playing of Hall, a blind musician from California who made a name for himself in western old time circle. The group applies a "Skillet Licker" treatment to some of the tunes, including the falsetto singing --it all makes for good listening and a lot of fun.
