The Blue Sky Boys were an American country music duo consisting of the brothers Earl Bolick (November 16, 1919 -- April 19, 1998) and Bill Bolick (October 28, 1917 -- March 13, 2008), whose careers spanned over forty years. The brothers were born and raised in East Hickory, North Carolina, as the fourth and fifth sibling in a family of six children.[1][2] Their parents, who were deeply religious and belonging to the "First Church of God",[3] taught them to sing hymns and gospel music. A neighbour taught Bill how to play guitar and banjo while Earl on the other hand learned to play mandolin and guitar.[2] Eventually, they decided to switch instruments and Bill chose the mandolin while Earl concentrated on the guitar. They made their radio debut in 1935 at local radio station WWNC in Asheville, North Carolina as part of the "Crazy Hickory Nuts".[4][2] Sponsored by the "JF Goodson Coffee Company and together with Homer Sherrill of the "Crazy Hickory Nuts" they formed the "Good Coffee Boys" in the late 1935.[3] Six months later, in June 1936, the Bolick brothers moved to Atlanta, Georgia to perform at radio station WGST.[5] Because they were sponsored by the "Crazy Water Crystal", they had to perform using the name "(Crazy) Blue Ridge Hillbillies".[6][2] In Atlanta, the Bolick brothers went to RCA Records for an audition. At first, Eli Oberstein, the A & R man was reluctant to hear the brothers sing accusing them of copying the Monroe Brothers. Anyhow, he changed his mind .... + Informações

The Banks of the Ohio The Blue Sky Boys American Folk Tales A traditional 19th century murder ballad. Lyrics Come my love let's take a walk Just a little way away While we walk along we'll talk Talk about our wedding day Only say that you'll be mine And in our home we'll happy be Down beside where the waters flow Down on the banks of the Ohio I drew my knife across her throat And to my breast she gently pressed Oh please, oh please, don't murder me! For I'm unprepared to die you see Only say that you'll be mine And in our home we'll happy be Down beside where the waters flow Down on the banks of the Ohio I taken her by her lily white hand I let her down and I made her stand There I plunged her in to drown And watched her as she floated down Only say that you'll be mine And in our home we'll happy be Down beside where the waters flow Down on the banks of the Ohio Returning home 'tween twelve and one Thinking of the deed I'd done I murdered the girl I love you see Because she would not marry me Only say that you'll be mine And in our home we'll happy be Down beside where the waters flow Down on the banks of the Ohio Next day as I was running home I met the sheriff standing in the door He said young man come with me and go Down to the banks of the Ohio Only say that you'll be mine And in our home we'll happy be Down beside where the waters flow Down on the banks of the Ohio. + Informações

In the '30s, brother duets were common in country music: Among the better known were the Monroes, the Delmores, the Dixons, and the Carlisles. Bill and Earl Bolick, who in 1936 were ready to make their first recording, followed their producer's suggestion that they should be different by avoiding the word "brother." From "Blue Ridge Mountains, Land of the Sky" they took two words and named their act. But the Bolicks would have been different without the new name. Their intricate yet simple harmonies, their perfectly matching voices, and their unadorned mandolin and guitar instrumental backing set them off from the competition, so much so that two generations of subsequent duet singers echo them, some without realizing it. The Everly Brothers and the Louvin Brothers, themselves recognized as exceptional vocal duets, acknowledge the influence of the Blue Sky Boys. In the '50s, when tastes in country music changed drastically, the Blue Sky Boys retired from music rather than forsake their love of old mountain ballads for the uptempo popularity of electric instruments, drums, and honky tonk. In the '60s they were coaxed to come out of retirement, playing an occasional college date during the hootenanny phenomenon and recording albums in 1963, 1965, and 1976. Born and raised in East Hickory, NC, Bill and Earl Bolick -- the fourth and fifth of six children by deeply religious parents -- learned how to harmonize by singing hymns and gospel songs at home. Bill learned how to play .... + Informações
