Carl Jackson

Carl Jackson was playing banjo well enough at nine to join The Country Partners, the bluegrass band of his father and uncles, which also played the Neshoba County Fair. At fourteen he left for four years with Jim and Jesse McReynolds, then toured as Glen Campbell's featured banjo player from 1972 to 1984. He turned to songwriting and production, and Little Mountain Church House was named the International Bluegrass Music Association's Song of the Year for 1990. He was inducted into the Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame in 2006.
