Buell Kazee (1900-1976) was born in Kentucky and was a performer/collector of Appalachian folk songs. Kazee recorded 58 songs for Brunswick during 1927-1929 and an additional LP for Folkways in 1958.
From 1916 on, Kazee primarily considered himself a minister with music as a sideline. His precise banjo playing was also one of his strong points which he played in Appalachian clawhammer style.
