Keith & Rooney

Costs Keith (b. William Bradford Keith, 20 Dec 1939, Boston, Massachusetts, USA; banjo/vocals) and Jim Rooney (electric guitar/vocals) forged among the lynchpin works active through the US folk revival of the first 60s. These were located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and, combined with the Charles Valley River Kids, helped inspire the brand new England folk picture. Their early 60s debut Livin’ WITHIN THE Mountain was made by Paul A. Rothchild, at that time a director from the famous Golf club 47. Bob Weinstock, owner of Prestige Information, was therefore impressed using the outcomes that he released the outcomes and used Rothchild. The recording was a fantastic old-time/bluegrass selection which Keith and Rooney had been aided by Joe Val (mandolin/vocals), Natural herb Hooven (fiddle), Natural herb Applin (acoustic guitar) and Fritz Richmond (washtub bass). Richmond later on became a creator person in the Jim Kweskin Jug Music group. Keith and Rooney produced a highly effective appearance in the 1962 Philadelphia Folk Festival where Keith earned the five-string banjo competition. They parted business in 1963 and Keith joined Expenses Monroe and Crimson Allen before shifting to the western coastline. There he became connected with a new era of bluegrass music group, including Muleskinner and Aged And IN THE MANNER. Jim Rooney briefly abandoned music to review classics in Greece, after that worked with the united states rock and roll trio Borderline, before settling in Nashville where he worked well like a highly-respected maker, notably with Nancy Griffith. He also is constantly on the tour and play with Keith.
