The Delmore Brothers Artist Snapshot:

Alton and Rabon--Alabama's Delmore Brothers--popularized the close-harmony style of singing (later made legendary by the likes of the Louvin and Everly Brothers) and embraced the blues with a fervor unmatched by their Grand Ole Opry contemporaries. While they soared to fame in the '30s on the strength of singles such as "Brown's Ferry Blues" and "Alabama Lullaby," the brothers fell out of favor with the Nashville establishment. After relocating to Cincinnati, they rebounded in the mid '40s with a hillbilly boogie makeover that found their trademark harmonies bolstered by electric guitar licks--as evidenced on their famed anthem "Blues Stay Away From Me."

FREIGHT TRAIN BOOGIE contains tracks from the Delmore Brothers years with the King/Federal labels.

The original country rockers? Well, no, not in the Eagles sense. But when you hear these songs, recorded between 1946 and 1952, what you're hearing is either the template for rockabilly or the missing link between rockabilly and western swing--in other words, one of the earliest documented instances of white boys really getting down to the heart of hep. Unofficial Delmore Brother Wayne Raney's harmonica work on songs like "Trouble Ain't Nothin' But the Blues" owes very little to country, while a Delmore original like "Used Car Blues" points to Chuck Berry and the future. Revelatory stuff, and very exciting.
