Reams, James - James Reams' Homeplace
Although he lives in Brooklyn, New York, old-time music is in James Reams' blood -- and it isn't from a "folk revival" inspired transfusion. He has called New York his home for the past twenty years; however he is perhaps one of the only northern enthusiasts who has vivid memories of sitting on a dirt-floored cabin in the heart of Appalachia and listening to his father and friends playing fiddle, banjo, and guitar music.
Red Mountain White Trash Home Page
This is a sort of unofficial home page for info about the band. Actually, though, it's probably about as official as anything ever is with us.

The Red Mountain White Trash (you can call us the Trash) play traditional string band music. The band was originally based in Birmingham, but are now pretty much scattered all across northern Alabama. Great music by talented musicians who just happen to be the foremost authorities in Alabama Old-Time Music.
