Remembering Roscoe Holcomb (September 5, 1912 – died February 1, 1981) He was an American singer, banjo player, and guitarist from Daisy, Kentucky. A prominent figure in Appalachian folk music, Holcomb was the inspiration for the term "high, lonesome sound," coined by folklorist and friend John Cohen. The "high lonesome sound" term is now used to describe bluegrass singing, although Holcomb was not, strictly speaking, a bluegrass performer. Here he is performing "Fair Miss In The Garden" #roscoe
