Born 73 Years Ago Today in Mississippi, the Bluegrass Musician Glen Campbell Called the “Greatest Banjo Player in the World”
Born on this day (September 18) in 1953 in the small town of Louisville, Mississippi, Carl Jackson got his start in country music at a young age. At 14 years old, he was invited to play banjo for Jim and Jesse and the Virginia Boys, one of the most respected bluegrass bands at the time.

He has charted three singles and penned songs for Campbell, Terri Clark, Garth Brooks, Rhonda Vincent, and others.
