Bill Bolick
October 28, 1917 – March 13, 2008
Bill Bolick and his brother Earl Bolick made up the Blue Sky Boys who began making records for RCA Records in the mid 1930s. They recorded several dozen songs for RCA over the next three decades and found considerable success along the so-called hillbilly circuit. They basically retired in the mid 50s partially due to their dislike to what was happening to country music (i.e.; the electric guitar), but came out of retirement a couple of times in the 60s then the 70s (most recently on Rounder Records) to make a few more albums. Bill Bollick, one of the remaining members of bluegrass’ senior class, passed away from natural causes on March 13, 2008.
