E.C. Ball of Rugby, Virginia and his wife Orna made some of the most joyful, eerie, affecting, and enduring traditional country music of their era. First recorded by John A. Lomax for the Library of Congress in 1937, they sang ballads, comic songs, and mountain gospel music on records and the radio in a style entirely their own. "Face A Frowning World" is a tribute to the music of E.C. and Orna Ball, and a thirty-year memorial to E.C., who died in 1978. Played by the Health & Happiness Family Gospel Band of Louisville, Kentucky, and many others, including Michael Hurley, Jolie Holland, The Handsome Family, and Bonnie "Prince" Billy.
