Song: Delta Dawn
Artist: The
Baldknobbers
Mode of Consumption:
Listening to vinyl record “From the Hills of the Ozarks” while working on
collage in our basement.
The lot of records I mentioned in the previous post included three albums from a group named “The Baldknobbers.” The name alone intrigued me enough to give one of the albums a listen while working on a project in our basement.
The music was as expected: bluegrass, folky, etc.
I didn’t know anything else about the band.
Looking up now, I have learned a few things.
- They are not on Spotify. That’s why you’ll notice if you follow the link you’ll get the better known version of “Detla Dawn” by Tanya Tucker.
- According to the webpage, www.baldknobbers.com, they are a country music and comedy variety show at the Hughes Brothers Theatre in Branson, Missouri, featuring the Mabe Family.
- They have been performing since 1959.
- There was a group of vigilantes in the Ozark region of the Missouri from the 1885-1889. The group got its name from the grassy bald knob summits of the nearby Ozark Mountains. The Bald Knobbers for the most part sided with the Union during the Civil War and were opposed by the Confederate backing Anti-Bald Knobbers.
