This video features Clifton Hicks performing the traditional folk song "Brother Green" (also known as "The Dying Soldier"). Hicks learned the song from a 1920s recording by Rev. Buell Kazee. He plays an 1888 Thompson & Odell "The Luscomb" banjo tuned to a specific key and uses La Bella nylon strings and a Joel Hooks bridge. The lyrics describe a dying soldier who wishes to be laid to rest and for his wife and children to be informed of his impending death and his belief in salvation.
