Dock Boggs CD discography The New Lost City Ramblers were instrumental in bridging the gap between the young urban folk musicians of the early '60s, who embraced the form and feel of old-time American music, and the last of the great rural singers and players who had actually grown up with the music in its original incarnation.

Dock Boggs Biography
Dock Boggs music CDs One of the towering figures of old-time music, Artist was a banjo innovator who played Appalachian songs with a blues feel. Born in 1898 in Virginia, Boggs watched African-American string bands and incorporated what he learned into his own style. He tuned the banjo lower than most Appalachian players, disliked clawhammering, and opted for a three-fingered arpeggio technique. The resulting bluesy style landed him a minor recording deal with Brunswick in 1927. Despite the possibility of a national breakthrough, Boggs turned his back on the industry, which his religious wife Sara considered fraught with sin. After using his banjo as collateral for a loan and working as a coal miner for two decades, the old-time legend was saved from obscurity by Mike Seeger and the '60s folk revival, subsequently recording many sides for Smithsonian Folkways. He died on his birthday in 1971.
