In 1923 Okeh Records, which helped popularize both “race records” and “hillbilly music,” introduced Appalachian banjo players and other “mountain musicians” who became popular with a string of so-called “old-time” hits. Old time music is still a dynamic and expanding genre, though we can all find great joy in older old-time musicians, like Enoch Rucherford, who we see in this video, playing banjo as if he’s been playing for a hundred years.
