One of the grandfathers of American Country music, Carson Robison started out as a trick whistler who could whistle two tunes at one time. He went on to make the landmark recording of “The Wreck of the Old ’97” b/w “Prisoner’s Song” (1924), widely regarded as country music’s first million-seller. There is a great article on him in the September issue of my favorite magazine, the Old Time Herald.
