Freddy Pigg is a legend of country music. He spent his lifetime playing, singing and recording great songs. He associated with many early country-western artists such as Wayne Raney and Hylo Brown, This is a collection of some of Freddy's best songs. The music represents an era of American music. Here is his biography in his own words. 　　 　　I was born at White House, Johnson County, KY in Feb. 1930. That was a coal mining community and most men were miners. My father was killed in the mines at Black Mountain, Harlan County, KY in Sept. 1931. I was 19 months old. 　　 　　In the Mid-thirties my mother remarried and they bought a farm in Johnson County, which was her home when she was a young girl. I dropped out of the 10th. grade in Aug. 1944 and went on tour to W. She was Mollyestern part of New York, around the Nigara Falls-Buffalo area. That winter we wound up in the Cincinnatti, OH area, home to two 50 KW Radio Stations, and the mecca for Country Music at that time. I could play bass and sing so I had no problem getting jobs. My problem was the Union. Local 1, AFofM in Cincinnatti thought I was too young. I met several established Stars including Wayne Raney, The York Bro's, Hylo Brown, Merle Travis, Laverne Williamson, later working under the names, Dixie Lee, then Molly O'Day about the time she married Lynn Davis. She was already Molly when I met her. I got, and heeded a lot of good advice from Wayne Raney and Frank Brown Jr.(Later became Hylo). From Waynes advice that I have a good day-job, I got a job with the C&O Railroad train yard at Walbridge, OH. The railroad job was a seven day week. I would work two or three months without a day off, then take off from one to two weeks and go play music on tour with a Cincinnatti band. That lasted untill I was drafted into the Army near the beginning of the Korean War. I liked the Army because they gave me everything I needed and paid me also(I think I drew $68.00 per month to begin with.) I advanced to the rank of SGT. quite rapidly, and I also got to play Country Music everywhere I was stationed. I stayed with the Army and retired with over twenty years service. I never lost contact with my musician friends in Cincinnatti and after I retired I started back on the road again. That lasted less than a year because the music business had changed so much. All the good bands traveled in buses by that time and I seldom saw a good bed on the road. It was normal to go a week or more with a night in a real bed. When I decided to quit the road I hadn't seen a bed for nine days. 　　After quitting the road, I enrolled in Cameron University and got a BS in business. I still played music, formed a band from the OK area and played one gig that lasted 22 years. I still went on the road for several times filling in for someone. I remained friends with Wayne Raney & family, Hylo Brown & family (They were my childhood heroes) for as long as they lived. I am still friends with their remaining family. 　　 　　While in the Army I recorded for Starfax Records, Huntsville; and for Murray Nash, Topic Records, in Nashville. I played music a lot, but not full time. I was never interested in sports, hunting, or fishing; so music was my recreation. I always said if it ever gets to feel like a job, I'll quit playing, but so far that hasn't happened; and I'm still doing gigs when I want to play them. I'm 81 now, so I'll most likely stop playing within the next fifteen or twenty years.
