Mississippi Kid - In The Style Leroy Troy (Banjo Flippin')

Video #160 of my Trad-Thursday serie!
The song of the week is a Lynyrd Skynyrd tune called “Mississippi Kid” but the version of the Tennessee Slicker “Leroy Troy”. Leroy plays old-time banjo inspired by the playing of Uncle Dave Macon who used to spin his banjo and doin' tricks while he was playing. When I saw Leroy perform this song on the The Marty Stuart Show I got really amazed over the stuff he was doing.
So, after many years of practicing this style I’ve finally recorded this great version by Leroy. About Leroy: Leroy Troy, is an old-time banjo player from Goodlettsville, Tennessee. His banjo style is the clawhammer or frailing style, distinct from more commonly found Scruggs style banjo playing in modern bluegrass. He often performs humorous or comedy songs from the old-time music genre.
Troy often uses a washboard with various sound making devices affixed to it. The "Bicycle Wreck" song is often played by Troy on the washboard. Major musical influence is attributed to Uncle Dave Macon and others taught by him. Troy debuted on the Grand Ole Opry in 1988 and was the National Old-Time Banjo Champion in 1996.
Hope Ya'll Will Enjoy!
