Playing Progressive Bluegrass long before there was a name for it, the prodigiously talented group won numerous contests and appeared on several radio and television programs (including appearing as themselves on <i>The Andy Griffith Show</i>). The band recorded a number of albums in the early 1960s and their acclaim landed them a spot at the prestigious Newport Folk Festival. Much of the focus of the band has been placed on the guitar playing of Clarence White; he was a follower of Doc Watson's style, and he took that dazzlingly fast, percussively syncopated playing to a level that remains the standard today. After the band broke up in 1965, Clarence White went on to join the Byrds and became a guitar superstar before being fatally struck by a car in 1973. Brother Roland White is an acclaimed singer and mandolin player who is still in demand in the worlds of Bluegrass and country music. - Tom HeymanBluegrassen720Mon, 30 Nov 2009 05:35:26 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3969&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fthe-kentucky-colonels%2Fplaylists.rss The late guitarist Clarence White and his brothers Eric and Roland started the Kentucky Colonels in the mid-1950s in the Los Angeles area.
