Delmore Brothers - Single Episodes

(3 Sterne; 2 Bewertungen)

The Delmore Brothers, Alton and Rabon, were country music pioneers and stars of the Grand Ole Opry in the 1930s. Born into poverty in Elkmont, Alabama, they blended gospel-style harmonies with traditional folk music and blues, helping to shape the emerging genre of country music.

They recorded their first session for Columbia in 1931 and became regulars on the Grand Ole Opry, where they gained immense popularity. Despite leaving the show in 1939 due to disagreements with management, they continued to create music throughout the 1940s. Their best-known song, "Blues Stay Away From Me," is often regarded as one of the first rock and roll records.
