About: Dock Boggs

Moran Lee "Dock" Boggs (February 7, 1898 – February 7, 1971) was an American old-time singer, songwriter and banjo player. His style of banjo playing, as well as his singing, is considered a unique combination of Appalachian folk music and African-American blues. Contemporary folk musicians and performers consider him a seminal figure, at least in part because of the appearance of two of his recordings from the 1920s, "Sugar Baby" and "Country Blues", on Harry Smith's 1952 collection Anthology of American Folk Music. Boggs was first recorded in 1927 and again in 1929, although he worked primarily as a coal miner for most of his life.

  • Moran Lee "Dock" Boggs (February 7, 1898 – February 7, 1971) was an American old-time singer, songwriter and banjo player. His style of banjo playing, as well as his singing, is considered a unique combination of Appalachian folk music and African-American blues. Contemporary folk musicians and performers consider him a seminal figure, at least in part because of the appearance of two of his recordings from the 1920s, "Sugar Baby" and "Country Blues", on Harry Smith's 1952 collection Anthology of American Folk Music. Boggs was first recorded in 1927 and again in 1929, although he worked primarily as a coal miner for most of his life. He was rediscovered during the folk music revival of the 1960s and spent much of his later life playing at folk music festivals and recording for Folkways Records. (en)

  • Moran Lee "Dock" Boggs (né le 7 février 1898 et mort le 7 février 1971, le jour-même de son 73e anniversaire) fut, dans la music old-time américaine, un influent chanteur, auteur et joueur de banjo. Sa technique de jeu au banjo (à trois doigts) comme son chant sont considérés comme étant une combinaison unique de folk des Appalaches et de blues afro-américain. La scène actuelle de la folk américaine estime qu'il est un de ses fondateurs, ne serait-ce que parce que deux de ses enregistrements de 1920 (Sugar Baby et Country Blues) apparaissent dans la collection Anthology of American Folk Music (1951) d'Harry Smith. Dock Boggs fit d'abord des enregistrements en 1927, puis en 1929, bien qu'il ait été un mineur de charbon la majeure partie de sa vie. Il fut "redécouvert" aux États-Unis durant le revival folk des années 1960, et il passa la fin de sa vie à jouer dans des festivals et à enregistrer pour Folkways Records. Il est enterré à Norton, Virginia. (fr)
