King Records Pt. 4 "King Bluegrass"
Manage episode 288154398 series 2802227
King records released a great deal of Bluegrass music without a large roster of Bluegrass performers. The artists they did have, though, were the top-o-the heap. Reno & Smiley, Bobby Osborne and Jimmy Martin, Napier & Moore, and of course, Ralph & Carter, the Stanley Brothers. There were no "one and done" Bluegrass artists on King. All three of their major Bluegrass acts, the Stanleys, Reno & Smiley, and Napier & Moore recorded regularly and extensively, and their substantial output marks an artistic high point for this classic American genre.
