Liner Note Authors: Henry Sapoznik; Patsy Stoneman; Christopher [1] C. King. Director: Christopher [1] C. King. Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Ernest Stoneman was one of the pioneering artists documented in the famous 1927 "Bristol sessions" that introduced the world at large to early-country pioneers like Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family. This two-disc collection contains the best of Stoneman's early material as a solo artist (he'd later lead his offspring in the Stoneman Family), recorded for a variety of labels between the mid `20s and mid `30s. In addition to Stoneman's first and biggest success, 1925's "The Titanic," THE UNSUNG FATHER OF COUNTRY MUSIC offers two discs' worth of classic Stoneman sounds in all of their old-timey glory (though completists should be advised that it does not contain his 1928 Edison recordings).
