Outside of hardcore bluegrass fans, Charlie Moore is not widely known. That’s a pity because, as you’ll hear, he had the perfect voice for bluegrass.

He attracted plenty of superior musicians to his band, The Dixie Partners. That’s Butch Robins, who would later become a Blue Grass Boy, on banjo; and Paul “Moon” Mullins, Joe’s daddy, tearing it up on fiddle.

You know this tune. It’s from the pen of Hank Williams, and it’s called “I’ll Fly Away”.
