Hobart Smith was born in Smyth County, Virginia, on May 10, 1897. He was the oldest of four brothers in a family of eight children born to King and Louvine Smith.
Hobart Smith says that his is the seventh generation of Smiths in Virginia since his ancestors came from England. Thus it is probable that many of the Old World songs in his family have a long development in America since they first crossed the Atlantic.
The name of Hobart Smith and that of his sister, Mrs. Texas Gladden, first became familiar to folksong collectors through their recordings made by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress.
Smith also recorded a solo album in 1963, which was issued on the Folk Legacy label. |
