Thanks for sharing this. I was lucky enough to snag it on vinyl many years ago but I'm always glad when the other Camp Creek Boys albums make it into people's ears. Most people know the one on County (for good reason) but they did three others that are so good and not as many people know!

Thank you for commenting and for being so kind! I agree and hope that more folks can hear the lesser known records by the Camp Creek Boys that you mention. Please let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to change or if you ever prefer that I take this down. By the way, I copied the credits from the liner notes on the back of the LP, but I’ve also seen your grandfather’s name spelled “Verlen.” Did he prefer that spelling?

[@wesleyclifton7828]

@@andrewwalker4087 Yeah, he actually spelled his name "Verlen." It is not uncommon for it to be spelled "Verlin" in liner notes and things from back in the day, so I usually don't think anything of it. But he did spell it "Verlen."

Any kin to Ronnie Clifton?

Aaaa I've been looking for something like this for ages! Thank you!

you're welcome!

I was spending way too much time with Kyle when he put this out. A fair amount of it is from Charlie Faurot's original outtakes recorded for the 1st Clawhammer lp. Kyle had Paul and Verlen come by and add the guitar and mandolin. I don't remember when all this happened but I'm pretty sure it was a few years after 1973.

[@andrewwalker4087]

Thanks, Tom! I’ll try to find the correct release year. Does the rest seem accurate?
