The Good Old-Fashioned Way Hamper McBee SKU: DC427 Barcode: 781484042716 15.00 £15.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Drag City Released Date: 25th June 2010 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info ‘The Good Old-Fashioned Way’ is the first Hamper McBee release in over thirty years. “I just like them old songs better.” The late Hamper McBee was a moonshiner, carnival barker, and ballad singer of legendary proportions. First “discovered” and recorded by folklorist and performer Guy Carawan in 1964, Hamper’s prodigious talent and personality won him admirers not only in his native Smoky Mountains but throughout the folk music world, where his wholly unique approach to old-time ballads and lyric songs struck like revelations. He drew from both the oral tradition and from records — he especially loved Bradley Kincaid, Vernon Dalhart, and, surprisingly, Burl Ives — to create a repertoire entirely his own, and that he sung in a warm, powerful voice seasoned by prodigious quantities of cigarettes, booze, and joie de vivre. Recorded by renowned country music scholar Charles K. Wolfe and filmmaker Sol Korine at Hamper’s home in Monteagle, Tennessee, in 1977, ‘The Good Old-Fashioned Way’ compiles the best of McBee’s traditional ballads, affecting original compositions, and outlandish, sidesplitting stories of life on the carnival circuit, at the moonshine still, in the back of Sheriff Bill Malone’s patrol car, and as Hamper McBee. You’ve never met anyone like him before. You’ll be glad you did. This expansion features Charles K. Wolfe’s original liner notes. ‘The Good Old-Fashioned Way’ contains twelve previously unreleased tracks, including a number of especially hilarious and vulgar items unsuitable for radio play — title track among them. ‘The Good Old-Fashioned Way’ reissue is co-produced by Sol Korine’s filmmaker son, Harmony Korine, and Nathan Salsburg of Twos & Fews.
