Podcast Episode Summary
While a lot of episodes of Backroads and Banjos feature archival recordings of legendary old-timey recording artists, none have featured recordings quite like this. In 1959, a much younger Art Rosenbaum was the host of the radio show Keys to the Highway at New York City's WKCR. Not long ago, a tape surfaced of art with seminal northern country group The Greenbriar Boys on Art's show. Along with New Lost City Ramblers, The Greenbriar Boys were essential in bringing the traditional and folk sound to New York City. This recording features the Greenbriar Boys picking and talking about their sound in 1959, a few years before their sound hit big with the country.
