content: Eric H. Davidson produced a number of recordings of traditional music for Folkways Records in the 1960s and 1970s. Following in the footsteps of Mike Seeger, he visited banjo player Wade Ward in the late 1950s, and several of his Folkways productions focus on Ward's music. Davidson, who learned to play clawhammer banjo from Ward, performed in the Iron Mountain String Band during the 1970s, which released two recordings on Folkways. Their music was based on field recordings made by band members and associates.
