Holcomb, Roscoe

Authoritative Name:: Holcomb, Roscoe
Biography:: American singer, banjo player, and guitarist from Daisy, Kentucky. A prominent figure in Appalachian folk music, Holcomb was the inspiration for John Cohen's coining of the term "high, lonesome sound." A coal miner and farmer for much of his life, Holcomb was not recorded until 1950, after which point his career as a professional musician was bolstered by the folk revival of the 1960s. Holcomb gave his last live performance in 1978.
