Hylo Brown, born Frank Brown Jr. in 1922, was an American bluegrass and country music singer-songwriter known for his distinctive tenor voice and storytelling prowess. In 1968, he recorded a rendition of t"Stack-O-Lee" during a session in Akron, Ohio. This track was featured on his album America's Favorite Balladeer, released the same year.
Brown's interpretation of "Stack-O-Lee" offers a bluegrass-infused take blending traditional instrumentation with his expressive vocals. The recording session included notable musicians such as Billy Edwards on banjo and Clarence "Tater" Tate on fiddle.
