Songs of the Smokie Mountains by Bill

In 1967, Bill Owens’ music career was on the rise. As a songwriter for Combine Music he was writing or co-writing hits for Bill Phillips, Skeeter Davis, Porter Wagoner, and his niece, Dolly Parton, who was on the edge of stardom herself. In spite of this success, he hadn’t “gotten above his raisin’” as the expression went, and the desire to honor his roots and family musical traditions led to a most unusual album.

Songs of the Smokie Mountains by Bill Owens and The Kinfolk, was both a time capsule of the music Owens had grown up with and a tribute to his greatest musical influence, his father, the Rev. Jake Owens. Recorded in the East Tennessee home of Bill’s sister, Dorothy Jo Owens, the album featured 16 recordings of traditional mountain songs and hymns. In addition to solo performances by Bill, Dorthy Jo joined in on some songs on banjo and vocals, and several cuts featured their father, Jake Owens on vocals and fiddle.

The result is a fascinating record of East Tennessee mountain music and performance. The same type of family musical jam session that Dolly Parton and her siblings grew up hearing on the front porch of their Tennessee mountain home. Released on the small independent label, REM Records in 1967, this limited album became a sought-after collectible by traditional folk music fans, and is now available in this new edition.

  • Historical liners notes detailing the musical legacy of the Owens family

  • Background on the recording of the album and the songs featured

  • One the few commercially released recordings of Dolly Parton’s grandfather Jake Owens

Fits perfect by my sink. All my items worked in there. The only thing is I had to use zip ties to hold bar on for hanging my dishcloth.

Great Design, Great Value
Color: Silver, Color: Silver
Sturdy, simple & well designed. It’s crafted with practicality in mind. The paper towel rod is accented with a circle ring on the top that makes it easy to lift and move around. It’s a very hassle free design and one that motivated me select it over the other options & I’m glad I did. I’m very happy with my purchase.
