Southern Melody (Kentucky folk music)

~ Release by Odus Maggard (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Banjoist and songwriter Joseph Odus Maggard recorded for Decca and Victor in the late 1930’s, shaping the musical appetites of a growing nation and music industry. Originally from Perry County, Kentucky, Odus started picking the banjo when he was a young child. His is a progressive type of grassroots music that has contributed to the vitality and creativity of what most people today think of as bluegrass. “Southern Melody” marks the long-overdue resumption of Maggard’s musical career.
