Also recorded in 1974, the band’s second LP focused on the ragtime music of 1920s & 30s stringbands. The following quotes are taken from original reviews:

“Here’s a thorough delight… the music is crisply played with a wit that enlivens tradition… a pleasure in its material, musicianship and spirit.”
Tom Teepen – Dayton Daily News

“… an album that is true to the letter and spirit of the ‘teens and ‘twenties. You almost feel like you’ve dipped into a cache of old 78 rpm  records.”
Pickin’ Magazine

Stone Mountain Woble

from the original liner notes –

This record is a result of a strong interest in Country Rag-time music on the part of many people. The instruments are common except for the Banjo-Guitar and the Banjo-Mandolin.This music was once very popular and still is in some parts of the country. The album is dedicated to those who made it through some hard times with a stomp, strut or a wobble. It may come in handy again.

Produced by Lou Ukelson

About us

The story of the Hotmud Family began in the late 1960s when three young musicians—Suzanne Thomas, Rick Good and Dave Edmundson—from Dayton, Ohio, began searching out and learning from old records by such pre-World War II country artists as the Carter Family, Uncle Dave Macon, Jimmie Rodgers, the Delmore Brothers and the Skillet Lickers. Inspired by the New Lost City Ramblers, Suzanne, Rick and Dave joined forces for nearly fourteen years to tour, play and record the old-time country music they loved. Documenting an especially fertile five-year period (1974-1978) during which the Hotmud Family recorded some of the freshest and most creative traditional country music of their era, these recordings sound even better now than when they were brand new.
