MUSIC AVAILABLE VIA Download

At the time I wrote this article there was very little available on Bradley Kincaid. The Ernest Tubb Record shop had one CD which largely overlapped a cassette I had dubbed onto CD and sent to Brady to accompany the article

Since then several blogs (mostly in Europe) have come into existance which have posted much old-time country music. The following blog isn’t one of the more extensive blogs BUT it is the only one which has any significant amount of Bradley Kincaid music available for your listening pleasure

[...] The new blog Allen’s Archive kicked off with seven volumes of vinyl rips from Bradley Kincaid, who you might remember from Paul’s Forgotten Artists feature last August. [...]

I read with interest the article about Bradley Kincaid by Paul Dennis. I was intrigued by the comment from Sam G. about his grandmother who remembers listening to the WLS Barn Dance. Sam G. can you please contact me? I’m producing a PBS documentary film about the National BArn Dance and was wondering if I might be able to talk with your grandmother? I’m always looking for former listeners of the Barn Dance.

Paul, thank you for another truly interesting feature on an artist I had never heard of. The contributions of these musicologists that preserved so much traditional music cannot be overstated.

I would like to hear more about how he came to give “Grandpa” Jones his nickname. One cowboy singer I like sings “I Am My Own Grandpa” and claims that it was that song that gave Grandpa Jones his nickname although I don’t know if its true(?).

As for the song “Barbara Allen”, I first encountered it on the soundtrack of the 1993 TV mini-series “The Wild West” that featured many country artists. Crystal Gayle sings that song in a historically accurate manner that gives me goosebumps. Fortunately a music video was made that is on YouTube! Here’s the link:

My grandmother fondly remembers the WLS Barn Dance show, and she has talked often about how much she liked Bradley Kincaid’s music. Thanks for providing such a mice synopsis of his career, not to mention the song. I’ve never heard “Barbara Allen” before.
