dbo:abstract
  • Moran Lee %22Dock%22 Boggs (February 7, 1898 – February 7, 1971) was an influential old-time singer, songwriter and banjo player. His style of banjo playing, as well as his singing, is considered a unique combination of Appalachian folk music and African-American blues. Contemporary folk musicians and performers consider him a seminal figure, at least in part because of the appearance of two of his recordings from the 1920s, %22Sugar Baby%22 and %22Country Blues%22, on Harry Smith's 1951 Anthology of American Folk Music collection. Boggs was initially recorded in 1927 and again in 1929, although he worked primarily as a coal miner for most of his life. He was %22rediscovered%22 during the folk music revival of the 1960s, and spent much of his later life playing at various folk music festivals and recording for Folkways Records.
