Don Stover, Fiddlin’ John and the Skillet Lickers are featured in a medley of 19th century roughneck courtship songs. Bluegrass, Western swing, hot guitars, banjos and fiddlers populate the rest of the Obsolete Music Hour. And, if you transgress, the jug bands will let you decide between the jailhouse or the cemetery. Freedom of choice–it’s what makes Obsolete America great!
