[Notes]
The career of Brown's Ferry Four began when the Delmore Brothers, Grandpa Jones, and Merle Travis were working at WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Delmores had already become known in the 1930s for appearances on the Grand Ole Opry and recordings, while Jones had appeared on various radio stations in Virginia and West Virginia and Travis' band, the Drifting Pioneers, had broken up due to a lack of personnel. The Pioneers' absence left a void in WLW's programming, so program director George Biggar requested a new gospel formation. Alton Delmore brought in Jones, Travis and his brother Rabon to rehear.

[Notes]
Music of Coal: Mining Songs from the Appalachian Coalfields is a 70-page book and two CD compilation of old and new music from southern Appalachian coalfields. The project was produced by Jack Wright and is a benefit for the Lonesome Pine Office on Youth in Wise County, Virginia. The songs included cover a range of topics related to coal culture such as mining accidents and black lung disease. Some of the artists are natives of the U.S. coal mining region while others have less direct ties. Both vintage recordings and contemporary music have been combined with detailed liner notes giving context to both the songs and the artists. Musicologist Archie Green adds a "Sanctus" note to Wright's "Introduction." In the preliminary round of nominations for the 50th Grammy Awards the boxed set was under consideration for a number of awards, including, Best Recording Package, Best Liner Notes and Best Historical Album. The compilation did not, however, make it the final round of nominees.

Brown's Ferry Four: Grandpa Jones, Merle Travis, and the Delmore Brothers (Choir)
[Notes]
Based on their lineup alone, Brown's Ferry Four was a country supergroup from the get-go, with an original membership consisting of Grandpa Jones, the Delmore Brothers, and Merle Travis. Though the group only existed for ten years, and almost never made any personal appearances or gave any concerts, they managed to become one of the most beloved country gospel groups through their radio broadcasts and the nearly four dozen sides they recorded for King Records between 1946 and 1952.
