艺人介绍

by Steve KurutzProof that in-fighting and power plays among band members was not a practice invented by rock & roll groups, the Skillet Lickers were a prolifically talented 1920s string band that had creative differences through much of their career span. Originally formed as a backup band for fiddler and folksy-styled humorist Gid Tanner, the addition of fiddler Clayton McMichen took the band in another direction entirely. McMichen looked down upon Turners backwoods humor and musical style, preferring to take a more modern approach to the music by including jazz and pop influences, and he often downplayed the role of the banjo, as well as Turners high-pitched, comical vocals. Still, despite the creative differences, the Skillet Lickers operated on all cylinders throughout the 20s, recording for Columbia and gaining a reputation as one of the sharpest live bands of the time. After McMichen left in the early 30s to form other bands, Turner kept the name and hired a revolving cast of supporting musicians to keep the ball rolling for another few years.
