Bob Heyer: Music
Blue Ridge Mountain Blues
(Bob Heyer)
This song was originally titled "Blue Ridge Blues" and was written by Cliff Hess in 1924 under the pseudonym Cliff Carson. It was recorded in 1925 by Pop Stoneman, and my version closely follows a later recording by Bill Clifton. I have also heard the song as sung by Pop Stoneman and Doc Watson, and if the truth be known, my version is probably a little of all three.
