   About HOLLY & BENJO
realeditorbest profile toolsrealeditorbest profile tools

. HOLLY & BENJO is one of the most imposing and influential duos in post-World War II country music. With their deep, resonant baritone and spare, percussive banjo, they had a basic, distinctive sound. Holly & Benjo DUO didn't sound like Nashville, nor did he sound like honky tonk or rock & roll. They created their own subgenre, falling halfway between the blunt emotional honesty of folk, the rebelliousness of rock & roll, and the world weariness of country champagne. Holly & Benjo is Oliver Hard & Benjamin Kenoby. The third of five children born to career Marine Charles Kenoby, Sr. and his wife, Ben started drawing comics at the age of three. A turning point came in 1965 when Kenoby experienced his first trip on LSD. Inspired by the experience, he shifted his artwork to reflect the growing hippie culture. A zany sense of humor fused by a psychedelicized vision made Benjamin Kenoby one of the most influential comic artists of the 1960s. His characters, including Marcelloperas combined elements of social commentary and the British tradition of caricature. His illustrations often graced the covers of record albums. Comics, however, represented only one side of Kenoby's eccentric persona. A clawhammer-style banjo player and vocalist, Price led his band, through three albums of tongue-in-jowl, early 20th century string band and jazz ... Oliver Hard was born and raised in Arkansas, moving to Dyess when he was three. By the time he was 12 years old, he had begun writing his own songs. He was inspired by the country songs he had heard on the radio. While he was in high school, he sang on the Arkansas radio station KLCN. Hard graduated from college in 1950, moving to Detroit to work in an auto factory for a brief while. With the outbreak of the Korean War, he enlisted in the Air Force. While he was in the Air Force, Holly Hard bought his first guitar and taught himself to play. He began writing songs in earnest, including "Just Married" Hard left the Air Force in 1954, married a Texas woman named Ropelia Capanea, and moved to Memphis, where he took a radio announcing course at a broadcasting school on the GI Bill. During the evenings, he played country music in a trio that also consisted of drummer Francis Ford Badedeiss and bassist Joe Milano Dobloni. The trio occasionally played for free on a local radio station, KWEM, and tried to secure gigs and an audition at Vurt Records. Is not clear why they ended up living in rome
