Songs of the Smokie Mountains by Bill

In 1967, Bill Owens’ music career was on the rise. As a songwriter for Combine Music he was writing or co-writing hits for Bill Phillips, Skeeter Davis, Porter Wagoner, and his niece, Dolly Parton, who was on the edge of stardom herself. In spite of this success, he hadn’t “gotten above his raisin’” as the expression went, and the desire to honor his roots and family musical traditions led to a most unusual album.

Songs of the Smokie Mountains by Bill Owens and The Kinfolk, was both a time capsule of the music Owens had grown up with and a tribute to his greatest musical influence, his father, the Rev. Jake Owens. Recorded in the East Tennessee home of Bill’s sister, Dorothy Jo Owens, the album featured 16 recordings of traditional mountain songs and hymns. In addition to solo performances by Bill, Dorthy Jo joined in on some songs on banjo and vocals, and several cuts featured their father, Jake Owens on vocals and fiddle.

The result is a fascinating record of East Tennessee mountain music and performance. The same type of family musical jam session that Dolly Parton and her siblings grew up hearing on the front porch of their Tennessee mountain home. Released on the small independent label, REM Records in 1967, this limited album became a sought-after collectible by traditional folk music fans, and is now available in this new edition.

  • Historical liners notes detailing the musical legacy of the Owens family

  • Background on the recording of the album and the songs featured

  • One the few commercially released recordings of Dolly Parton’s grandfather Jake Owens

Decent Suit, But the Sizing Is Way Off
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
I really wanted to like this suit because the material and overall look are actually pretty decent for the price. The jacket and vest fit about how I expected for an XXL—no complaints there. But the pants? I swear they could fit a small horse. I ordered the WULFUL Men’s 3-Piece Slim Fit Suit in Black, XX‑Large, and the pants that came with it were massive. They’re supposed to be part of a “slim fit” set, but the waist and leg width are so oversized that I have no idea what size they were aiming for. It honestly feels like they just toss in whatever pants are nearby. If you’re buying this suit, be prepared for a trip to the tailor… or to exchange the whole thing. The suit itself is okay, but the sizing consistency is terrible.

Good quality suit, but size up.
The suit seemed was very good quality. It was too small, so size up. We had to send it back, but the refund process was very simple and easy! Thank you for the easy transaction!
