Doc Hopkins was one of the most influencial folk music or hillbilly singers of the 1930s and 1940s. This highly underrated artist has not recorded many commercial 78 RPM records but more than 200 songs on transcriptions during the 1940s with basically The Prairie Ramblers. Thirty of such selections are presented here on this CD. Top voice and great musicians of WLS National Barn Dance fame. A must for all collectors of legendary country music items.
