Overview
These photographs
relate primarily to performers of early commercial country music,
non-commercial Appalachian music, and stations in the region that
featured them. Most of the photos are publicity photos, some autographed.
Performer names and radio stations are earchable via an in-house
database.
Notable subjects include: Roy Acuff, the Briar Hoppers, Lester
Flatt, Red Foley, Doc Hopkins, Homer Ledford, Bill Monroe, Dolly
Parton (as a teenager), Jean Ritchie, Tex Ritter, and the Swanee
River Boys. Radio station publicity shots include WHAS in Louisville,
WIBC of Indianapolis, WKIC of Hazard, and WWVA of Wheeling. One
anomaly is a 1903 photo of the wreck of Engine 97; another shows
several Kentucky governors together. A few folders include copies
of songs associated with the performer.
