Backroads and Banjos

American Primitive Vol. II

“I’ve Got Your Ice Cold Nu Grape” was performed by the Nu Grape Twins in Atlanta, Georgia for use as a soda commercial. Alfred Lewis’s “Friday Moan Blues” was recorded in 1930 in the city of Chicago, and contains an intermingling of hollering and harmonica. John Hammond, the old-time East Kentucky banjo player, sings and picks “Little Birdie” in this mountain lyric tune.
