Earl Bolick
November 16, 1919 – April 19, 1998
Earl Bolick was one of bluegrass’s senior class when he passed away in 1998. He and his brother Bill 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 Bolick passed away on March 13, 2008.
