Thanks for the guesses.
Re: Kelly Harrell, I sure hear similarity in the voices, but that 1925 recording is not as contemporary and apparently he stopped recording in 1929..

Am not hearing the same vocalist in Jim and Jesse or Grandpa Jones. Please keep those ideas comin'!

It's not this, is it: http://www.loc.gov/jukebox/recordings/detail/id/10211/ Kelly Harrell from 1925.

Well, not Flatt & Scruggs, because that's not three-finger banjo playing. I've always associated this song with the new Lost City Ramblers, but they sang it in harmony and this recording is a soloist. So, add me to those who have no idea.

Flatt & Scruggs? Jim and Jesse? Grandpa Jones? Somebody like that....

The video stopped before anyone started singing New River Train, so I couldn't tell from the instrumentation.
