about

Harry Smith included two tracks by Ernest Stoneman (May 25, 1893 – June 14, 1968) on his Anthology of American Folk Music. Ernest Stoneman and Hattie Stoneman's “The Mountaineer’s Courtship” (recorded on May 12, 1927) and “The Spanish Merchant’s Daughter” (recorded on October 31, 1928, with Bolen Frost on banjo and Uncle Eck Dunford on fiddle). Ernest Van "Pop" Stoneman was a singer and songwriter, and proficient musician on the guitar, autoharp, harmonica, clawhammer banjo, and jaw harp.

Among these very early artists were Vernon Dalhart, who recorded the million-selling Wreck of the Old 97, Ernest Stoneman from Galax, Virginia, Henry Whitter, A.C. (Eck) Robertson, who recorded the first documented country record along with Henry C. Gilliland ("Sallie Gooden" b/w "Arkansaw Traveler"), and Uncle Dave Macon.
