Raising Kane

From birth, Eddie Kane has been raised on Sand Mountain, where music “swirls through the leaves and skips through the ground until it leaches the soil.” So his mother worries that he will grow up like his uncles, The Bragger Brothers. Now it appears her fears will be justified, for Eddie’s father can no longer work and  Eddie’s uncles need a banjo player. Taking to the road during the early Civil Rights Movement, Eddie is about to learn much more than music.
