Check out the article from The News Courier linked below. It’s written by Jim Holland, who appears to be Paisley (pronounced pace-lee) Hagood’s grandson. He shares many interesting details about Hagood’s life, return to fiddling after years of not playing, and musical influences. I learned of Paisley Hagood when I stumbled onto a video of James Bryan playing Bull of the Woods, which is attributed to Hagood.
