from Iron Ridge, Virginia, recorded over 200 songs between 1924 and 1929,
including the 1924 hit, "The Sinking of the Titanic." On many recordings and
live performances, he was accompanied by his wife, fiddler Hattie Frost
Stoneman. According to biographer Ivan Tribe, the Stonemans had 25 children,
most of whom became musicians. Soon there were several groups of family members
performing at various places as The Stonemans. The Great Depression brought
bankruptcy for "Pop" Stoneman and an interruption of the music, as those who
were able found other jobs. In 1947, however, the family - by now living
in Maryland - was rediscovered in a talent contest at Constitution Hall.
TV, radio and recording contracts followed. By the 1960s, The Stonemans were
cutting albums for MCA and hosted a syndicated TV show. They were named the
Country Music Associations Vocal Group of the Year in 1967. Over 30
Stonemans albums are still in print. Fine condition.
