Bill Clifton & Paul Clayton - The First Recordings

Review by Hoang Truong DDS

The First Recordings by Bill Clifton & Paul Clayton is a delightful album that showcases the early work of two folk music legends. The album features a collection of tracks that were recorded in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and it captures the essence of the folk revival that was happening at the time.

The album opens with "The Cuckoo," a traditional folk song that is given a fresh interpretation by Clifton and Clayton. Their harmonies are spot-on, and the banjo and guitar accompaniment is perfect. Other standout tracks include "Little Darling Pal of Mine," "Old Joe Clark," and "The Streets of Laredo."

One of the most impressive things about this album is the way that Clifton and Clayton are able to breathe new life into old songs. They take traditional folk tunes and make them their own, adding their own unique flair and style to each track.

Born: April 5, 1931 Singer, plays guitar & autoharp. Born to a wealthy family in Riverwood, MD, in suburban Baltimore County, he started his career in old-time music by listening to the music he heard on the radio as a child. Attending graduate school in business at the University of Virginia, he formed a trio called the Dixie Mountain Boys with folksingers Paul Clayton and Dave Sadler, adopting the stage name Bill Clifton so he did not embarrass his family. If you have ever attended a bluegrass festival, you can thank Bill Clifton for that: It was on the 4th of July, 1961, that Clifton staged his first outdoor Bluegrass Day. Carlton Haney was in attendance, and in 1965 organized a larger event. Clifton moved to England in 1963, formed bands there, eventually joined the Peace Corps, started recording for County Records in 1972, with much success, and finally moved to Virgina in 1980. He has since been a world traveler and promoter of Americas rural music. from: Sing Out! 6 June 2008 Country Music: The Rough Guide, By Kurt Wolff
