Tracklist

Notes

Ultra-rare and unique solo guitar album recorded in the early 1960s. It is a legendary recording among solo guitar aficionados, which rarely comes up for sale. Hughes, who died in 1998 at the age of 94, spent most of her life in Ludlow, Missouri, and according to the liner notes of the reissue she performed regularly at folk conventions and festivals; she also was a strong fiddler and banjo player. She was usually accompanied by her guitar-playing husband Jake when she performed at such festivals, performing a repertoire often dubbed parlor music—the popular music of the 19th century, when normal folks entertained themselves performing tunes from sheet music in their parlor. Album was reissued in 2013. Additional information here: http://www.npr.org/2013/02/06/171294400/the-ancient-vibration-of-parlor-music-revived-by-two-generations

Silver Threads Among the Gold. What A Friend We Have in Jesus. Cedar Brook Waltz. This is a new, unopened CD in its original packaging. Twenty-three minutes of one-guitar parlor songs, written mostly in the mid-19th century and recorded by this Missourian in the mid-'60s. You already know whether you're in or not. As a historical reference, Queen of the Flat Top Guitar is useful though not indispensable. As escapism, it will get the job done for its niche market. The tunes do run together a bit: Letter Edged in Black and Galloway Bay have similar melodies, and the opening measures of Spanish Fan-Dango's line will probably just distract you into humming Daisy.

Though she never recorded any 78s and only one LP, Hughes was most influential through her steady performances at various fiddler conventions and folk festivals throughout the Ozarks. She was an excellent fiddler, banjoist and guitar picker who retained the largely extinct repertoire of parlor pieces and the variety of specialized tunings that were necessary to play them. She lived most of her life in Ludlow, Missouri and passed away in 1998. Under the Double Eagle, 01:35. Letter Edged in Black, 02:00. Blue Heaven, 01:28.
