[@phlattgetit]

Not too different from the eefing done on the Hee-Haw TV show. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWbUepeeeLRlerM I wonder if it's a related form?

[@samaraisnt]

You're so right! I never heard Eefing/hootling before hmmm both very old Southern traditions !

[@phlattgetit]

@@samaraisnt I haven't studied it but as so many Southern music styles have, I imagine it's been carried over and adapted from these two forms: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5-4gKRmmtqkj7M and: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4quiIuArteNfck

[@TheFolkRevivalProject]

Could this be inherited from traditional African music... or is that reading too much into it?

[@28ghz]

AMERICAN INDIAN

[@63huncho]

They are field recordings made by John/Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Lomax

[@NT-qj1sy]

Can anyone explain what is going on here?

[@zimmcal]

Couldn’t say, but to me it sounds inspired by the sounds of a freight train.

[@samaraisnt]
