Country US né Howard Hopkins, le 26 Janvier 1900 à Harlan County (Kentucky), Doc Hopkins
a débuté vers les années trente. Il est décédé le 3 Janvier 1988.
It seems that
someone called "Doc" wasn't really a doctor, but it was actually his real name -
Doctor! Early on, he did the old folk songs and ballads. Back then, some thought
he was the best thing going for old time folk music of the mountains where he
grew up. He grew up in Harlan County, Kentucky, raised on corn bread.
He not only knew the songs, but knew the stories of how those songs came about.
He'd even explain how the melodies came to be and were carried on through the
years. He noted that the reason many of the old songs were sad was because
tragedy was a part of the life of the early pioneers. The songs were a way
telling their stories and experiences.
Claimed once that "I just sing the same as all us folks do down in Kentucky."
