Songs of the Smokie Mountains by Bill

In 1967, Bill Owens’ music career was on the rise. As a songwriter for Combine Music he was writing or co-writing hits for Bill Phillips, Skeeter Davis, Porter Wagoner, and his niece, Dolly Parton, who was on the edge of stardom herself. In spite of this success, he hadn’t “gotten above his raisin’” as the expression went, and the desire to honor his roots and family musical traditions led to a most unusual album.

Songs of the Smokie Mountains by Bill Owens and The Kinfolk, was both a time capsule of the music Owens had grown up with and a tribute to his greatest musical influence, his father, the Rev. Jake Owens. Recorded in the East Tennessee home of Bill’s sister, Dorothy Jo Owens, the album featured 16 recordings of traditional mountain songs and hymns. In addition to solo performances by Bill, Dorthy Jo joined in on some songs on banjo and vocals, and several cuts featured their father, Jake Owens on vocals and fiddle.

The result is a fascinating record of East Tennessee mountain music and performance. The same type of family musical jam session that Dolly Parton and her siblings grew up hearing on the front porch of their Tennessee mountain home. Released on the small independent label, REM Records in 1967, this limited album became a sought-after collectible by traditional folk music fans, and is now available in this new edition.

  • Historical liners notes detailing the musical legacy of the Owens family

  • Background on the recording of the album and the songs featured

  • One the few commercially released recordings of Dolly Parton’s grandfather Jake Owens

Favorite Sunblock for Toddlers –Clean, Easy, and Effective
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: Spray - 5 fl oz., Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: Spray - 5 fl oz.
This is my favorite sunblock for kiddos! The ingredients are very clean, and it provides excellent coverage. It’s super easy to apply to wiggly toddlers, and the easy-lock top lets me do it with just one hand. I highly, highly recommend this to parents of toddlers and young kids, it makes sun protection so much easier.

Easy application
Size: 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Set name: Stick - 0.5 oz.
The stick’s shape makes it easy to apply on kids’ faces and provides solid sun protection. Like most zinc-based sunscreens, it leaves a noticeable white cast on the skin, which becomes less visible when rubbed in but doesn’t fully disappear.

My Go-To Brow Pencil!
Color: Deep Brown, Size: 0.006 Ounce (Pack of 1), Color: Deep Brown, Size: 0.006 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've purchased the e.l.f. Instant Lift Brow Pencil twice already, and I'll definitely be buying it again. As you can see in my photo, I used it all the way down to the last bit! The shade is a perfect match for my brows and gives them a very natural, filled-in look without appearing harsh or overly drawn. The built-in spoolie is a huge plus—it helps blend the product beautifully and keeps my brows looking soft and natural. For the price, the quality is amazing. It's easy to apply, lasts well throughout the day, and has become a staple in my makeup routine. Highly recommend!

Goes on smooth and great color
Color: Deep Brown, Size: 0.006 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Long lasting buildable color and glides on smoothly. Comparable quality and color payout to other more expensive brands. If you're not sure what color you are, the taupe is a good choice. The harder you press, the deeper the color. Great product for the price!
