Thread Name: Whaddaya know about Hobart Smith?
Subject: Whaddaya know about Hobart Smith?
I bought an album at the Folk Legacy booth (Thanks! Sandy and Caroline) at Old Songs with several songs by Hobart Smith, brother Preston and sister Texas Gladden on it. The album is "Brethren, We Meet Again" (Southern White Spirituals), purchased after being inspired by a shape note workshop with Peter Amidon (incredible!). The best songs on the album (in my opinion) are these funky, bluesy pieces by Hobart and the Smith Family.

There are 3 songs on the DT with his name mentioned for having recorded them. Who is/was he? Where can I find more?
