Week 13: (#2131)
The Piedmont Blues and Old Time music of Americans Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, and Aunt Samantha Bumgarner were all early influences on Scottish singers and guitarists including Archie Fisher, John Martyn, and Bert Jansch. The blended sound has evolved further in “Celtgrass” and “I-grass” Irish fusion bands like JigJam and We Banjo 3
