Uncle Eck a National Treasure
There are 250 entries in the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress's list of most influential recordings. Grandma's fiddling uncle "Eck" Robertson is number 31 on the list with his 1922 first-ever country music recording of Arkansas Traveler and Sallie Gooden.
"Eck Robertson, master old-time fiddler, is recognized as the first performer to make country music recordings. This Victor disc features Robertson as a soloist on "Sallie Gooden," and in a duet with fiddler Henry Gilliland performing "Arkansas Traveler" on the flip side."
Uncle Eck shares the spotlight with Elvis, Orson Welles, and the guy who reported on the Hindenburg.
