Music of Roscoe Holcomb and Wade Ward

Roscoe Holcomb and Wade Ward FW02363 / FA 2363

This album presents two musicians whose experiences are similar—both play banjo, usually locally at community social functions, and come from farming backgrounds—but whose playing styles are noticeably different. Holcomb (from Daisy, Kentucky) plays wilder music, while Ward (from Independence, Virginia) has developed a smoother style.
