keyse1 Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 In the car this morning Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard "Dickens, a hardworking country girl whose formal education ended after seventh grade, and Gerrard, a younger, free-spirited college dropout from an urban, West Coast family. What they shared, above all, was their zeal for the music and their boldness as women to go out and play it. Hazel & Alice began playing together in the bluegrass and old-time music scene in and around the bars and house parties of Baltimore and Washington, DC, in the mid-to-late 1950s. Though much of their repertoire celebrated older, traditional-style songs, their music became more politicized throughout their careers as they wrote about social injustices." 5 1

cheekyboy Posted March 7 Posted March 7 1 hour ago, Steff said: What a great album, Steff, and I played it yesterday afternoon myself. I have the 3LP MFSL 2006 reissue and I also spun up their earlier 2004 reissue of 'So Long So Wrong' too, which is probably still my favourite Alison Krauss & Union Station album. Cheers, Keith 1
