Todays featured artist is Fiddlin Bill Hensley. Fiddlin’ Bill Hensley is one of the legends of old-time fiddling. He had it all—a hair-raising sound, an interesting bag of tunes, and charisma. With his lean face and handlebar mustache, Fiddlin’ Bill attracted the eye of photographers such as Ben Shahn, through whose beautiful Depression-era portraits he became the very symbol of the country fiddler. While very old timey, he was also deeply rooted in his Scots-Irish background, as seen here in this haunting backwoods version of Rocky Road to Dublin, one of my old favourites of the old country. Enjoy. https://youtube/watch?v=A7sFAiUsQ_U
