Grandpa Jones – Sings Real Folk Songs Vinyl LP (1964 Mono)

Released in 1964 on Monument Records, this vintage album highlights Louis Marshall “Grandpa” Jones at his absolute finest—combining his iconic five-string banjo technique with traditional folk, bluegrass, and old-time country storytelling.

From spirited banjo numbers like Chicken Don’t Roost Too High and Liza’s Up The ‘Simmon Tree to moving traditional ballads like Tragic Romance and What Does The Deep Sea Say, this record showcases the authentic, unvarnished style that made Grandpa Jones a staple of the Grand Ole Opry and Hee Haw.
