Song Of The Day #011

The original Brown's Ferry Four were Grandpa Jones, the Delmore Brothers & Merle Travis. The group got started 1943 when another group had left WLW in Cincinnatti, Ohio, leaving a 30 minute hole for the station to fill. Alton Delmore hurriedly put the group together. They went on the air the next day and country music history was made. They cut 44 sides for King Records between 1946 and 1952, all of which are available on the 2 cd collection Rockin' On The Waves.

Today's selection by the group is Old Camp Meeting.
