WEEMS STRING BAND
This unusual band came from western Tennessee and unfortunately only managed
to record two pieces. Yet these two numbers are among the most original, sophisticated and
beautiful recordings of any rural string band on record. WEEMS STRING BAND was unusual in that
they did arrangements and variations of tunes (very uncommon for a rural string band),
decorating the melody with intricate musical patterns through a combination of
fiddle, cello and banjo. The performances seem almost psychedelic.
