The featured download from\u00a0Smithsonian Folkways Recordings<\/a>\u00a0is “Cowboy Jim,” performed by Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard. When Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard recorded these songs in the mid-1960s, bluegrass music was dominated by male performers. They selected their favorite songs and arranged them for a stellar group of sidemen\u2014bluegrass legends Lamar Grier, Chubby Wise, David Grisman, and Billy Baker. Their widely admired performances made them role models for future generations of women in bluegrass.<\/p>\n

The 26 tracks have been remastered, resequenced, and newly annotated by the performers themselves, and include “Long Black Veil,” “The One I Love Is Gone,” and “I Hear a Sweet Voice Calling.”<\/p>\n

“Hazel and Alice blast out vintage bluegrass-country soundsongs with fierce, raucous energy.” \u2014\u00a0Time Magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n
