艺人介绍

by Mark A. HumphreyThis West Virginia singer/songwriter and fiddler was one of Ralph Peers discoveries on the legendary 1927 Bristol field trip that unearthed both the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers. Reed was one of those uniquely Southern contradictions, both reactionary and progressive in his songs. How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live? echoed the sentiments of the rural poor (who tasted none of the Roaring Twenties prosperity), while Why Do You Bob Your Hair, Girls? invoked Biblical sanctions against flappers. Topical commentary of this sort was rare in early hillbilly recordings: Reeds contemporaries usually pruned a branch from the folk tree or swiped a page from Moms Victorian songbook. Incongruously, Reed was a protest singer/songwriter out of time and place. Ry Cooder revived a couple of his songs in the 70s, the decade of Rounders reissue of several Reed performances, How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live?
