	Jethro Burns - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: As the mandolinist in the classic country comedy duo Homer & Jethro, Kenneth Burns was one of the finest instrumentalists of his generation, yet many people never realized that fact.
		Behind the country hayseed garb, the hick patter, and the outrageous parodies of popular songs, "Jethro" Burns and guitarist Henry "Homer" Haynes were expert jazz musicians whose exaggerated hillbilly appearance and zany sendups of songs belied the cleverness of their comedy and the extraordinarily high quality of their music.
		Jethro's music was extremely melodic and graceful, combining elements of jazz, swing, country, folk, and bluegrass, resulting in one of the most distinctive and influential mandolin styles in country music history.

	homer Mp3 Albums Review
		From the '40s to the '60s, guitarist Henry "Homer" Haynes and mandolinist Kenneth "Jethro" Burns often put their virtuosity and swing (not to mention those of Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, and the great Nashville drummer Buddy Harman) into service as deconstructive tools applied to the hits of the day.
		You might say the duo's parodies struck blows against the straight-faced tyranny of both mainstream pop and "hillbilly" music; you'll also note that Homer and Jethro seem to be having too much fun to care about such high-flown notions.
		This is a solid compilation of some of Homer and Jethro's best recordings for RCA Victor Records.
