Description: Further DetailsTitle: Billy Womack In Retrospect: Down At The Barber ShopCondition: NewDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS Tales about this one-of-a-kind character from Tennessee abound, but he remains sadly under-recorded. He's one of the most fabled fiddlers in bluegrass, and this is his definitive CD collection: Big John; Grey Eagle; Dill Pickles; Katy Hill; Sopping the Gravy; Scarlet's Waltz, and more including interview segments! ABOUT THE ARTIST Billy Womack, a lifelong Cannon County resident, was born in Sycamore Creek, twelve miles to the north of Woodbury, on October 22, 1922. His parents, Joe Bob Womack, a former teacher, and Elizabeth Higgins Womack owned a grocery in downtown Woodbury, in a stone building that still stands on East Main Street today. Billy taught himself the art of barbering and opened the barbershop beside his parents store. Billy could have easily become a professional musician but chose to remain close to his home and his family. He wanted to be a fiddling barber, not a barbering fiddler. Billy shunned what he called the professional lifestyle because he was a homebody and didn t want to get mixed up in the fast paced living that fueled many touring musicians. He was extremely proud that the pickers in his barbershop never touched a drop of alcohol or took any drugs before they walked through the doors. Anyway playing professionally couldn t make you a lot of money, it could only give you a name.Format: CDGenre: CountryArtist: Billy WomackNo Of Discs: 1Record Label: Spring FedEAN: 0783707964126 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
