The Happy Six - Kentucky Home Its You

Review by Audineia Aramaki

Happy Six's album Kentucky Home It's You is a delightful collection of bluegrass and country tunes that will transport listeners straight to the heart of the American South. From the opening track "Blue Moon of Kentucky" to the closing number "My Old Kentucky Home," the band showcases their impressive musicianship and tight harmonies.

The album's title track "Kentucky Home It's You" is a standout, with its catchy melody and nostalgic lyrics about the beauty of the state. "Rocky Top" is another highlight, with its rollicking banjo and fiddle solos. The band also puts their own spin on classic tunes like "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" and "Wabash Cannonball."

About The Happy Six

Organised by band contractor , this group recorded extensively for Columbia between 1919 and 1923, employing some of the most important names of the jazz and dance band world of the time, including Rudy Wiedoeft, Ross Gorman, Clyde Doerr, Bennie Krueger, Earl Oliver, Clarence Gransie, Ted Fiorito, Phil Ohman, and xylophonists Joe and George Hamilton Green. Most importantly, some of their records feature pioneer New Orleans musicians Alcide Nunez and Tom Brown, being the first made by the latter - a key figure in both the earliest New Orleans bands to move to the North and also the New Orleans revival of the 1940s.
