Mac Wiseman

Malcolm Bell "Mac" Wiseman (May 23, 1925 – February 24, 2019) was an American bluegrass and country singer active for seven decades in the twentieth century. He was part of Bluegrass music's earliest generation, though bluegrass never defined him. He helped found the CMA, headed Dot Records' country division, and, in 1993, he was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor. In his early career he was the guitarist for Flatt and Scruggs' band, the Foggy Mountain Boys. His biggest hits included "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" (1955) and "Jimmy Brown the Newsboy" (1959). Wiseman was a recipient of a 2008 National Heritage Fellowship awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts, which is the United States' highest honor in the folk and traditional arts. In 2014 he became part of the Veteran Era category of the Country Music Hall of Fame, as "an artist who achieved national prominence more than 45 years ago".
