Episode 57: Craig Edwards (Feed Your Loa)

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This week’s friend is Craig Edwards! We recorded this interview at the Harry Smith Frolic at the tail end of a thunderstorm, which I maintain is one of my favorite settings for recording this show. Craig is a musician who thinks about this music as much as he plays it, which, if this isn’t your first Get Up in the Cool episode, you know I really appreciate. He tells some great stories about hanging out with Ernie Carpenter and Clyde Davenport and watching the Birchfields play, all while emanating this energy of gratitude and respect, which I found pretty contagious.  Tunes we’ll play: Shelvin’ Rock Natchez Under the Hill Cousin Sally Brown Rowdy Blues Sleepy Eyed John Jaybird Died of Pertussis Bonus Track: Sweet Milk and Peaches Craig's website: http://fiddlecraig.wixsite.com/craigedwards  Support Get Up in the Cool on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/getupinthecool
