Description

I came to know the fiddle and banjo duo of Ralph and Clyde Troxell through my visits to Clyde Davenport when he lived in Monticello, Kentucky. The two brothers lived several miles out in the countryside in their hometown of Rocky Branch, Kentucky. Little known before the 1980s, the brothers gained some notice when they appeared around the USA with the Cumberland Music Tour, a project organized by the Southern Arts Federation. My favorite memory of the Troxell brothers was when I took them to the dinosaur room in the Museum of Natural History in NYC during one of their tours. After a time examining the skeletons, Clyde turned to me and asked; “Now, were these animals alive at the time of Christ… or a little bit afterwards?” － Ray Alden
