A prominent figure in Appalachian folk music,[2] Holcomb was the inspiration for the term "high, lonesome sound," coined by folklorist and friend John Cohen. The "high lonesome sound" term is now used to describe bluegrass singing, although Holcomb was not, strictly speaking, a bluegrass performer. Performance styleHolcomb's repertoire included old-time music, hymns, traditional music and blues ballads. In addition to playing the banjo and guitar, he was a competent harmonica and fiddle player, and sang many of his most memorable songs a cappella. Holcomb sang in a falsetto{{citation needed|date=March 2018|reason=nasally, yes — but falsetto?}} deeply informed by the Old Regular Baptist vocal tradition. Bob Dylan, a fan of Holcomb, described his singing as possessing "an untamed sense of control."[3] He was also admired by the Stanley Brothers and Eric Clapton, who cited Holcomb as his favorite country musician.[3] Life and careerA coal miner, construction laborer and farmer for much of his life,[4] Holcomb was not recorded until 1958, after which his career as a professional musician was bolstered by the folk revival in the 1960s. Holcomb gave his last live performance in 1978. Due to what he described as injuries he sustained during his long career as a laborer, Holcomb was eventually unable to work for more than short periods, and his later income came primarily from his music. Suffering from asthma and emphysema as a result of working in coal mines, he died in a nursing home in 1981, at the age of 68.[5] Holcomb is buried at the Arch Halcomb Cemetery in Leatherwood, Kentucky. His tombstone bears his given name of Halcomb rather than Holcomb.[6] DiscographyHolcomb's discography includes the following albums released on LP during his lifetime:[7]
The following single-artist compilations have been released since his death:[7]
