born in north carolina in 1892, influential singer and banjo player charlie poole is often considered to be one of the fathers of bluegrass and one of country music's first stars. although poole died at just 39 years old, he still had plenty of time to influence greats like bill monroe and hank williams, to name just a few. although poole did not write his own material-relying mainly on minstrel, vaudeville and burlesque songs of the day—-his genius lay in his unique ability to rework a song to make it his own, like this version of the drinking song "if the river was whiskey". poole, along with his string band, the north carolina ramblers, recorded over 60 sides columbia records during the 1920s, many of which have become standard repertoire. the material found on this lp, taken from recordings made from 1925-1930, sheds welcome light on some of his lesser-known songs, like the hilarious "it's movin' day".
