The Days of 49 is a mining song dating from the American gold rush era. It was first recorded by Logan English in 1957 on a classic Folkways collection of gold mining era tunes.
Unlike many bands claiming to be brothers, Greg and Thom Moore actually are siblings, growing up together in Altadena, Ca. And although they had both been playing in various projects for years, it wasn’t until 2001 that the two finally established The Moore Brothers. Beginning in the late ’80s, Thom Moore formed several bands, including Colorful Calliope with R&B singer Jon B. Greg released a solo record before joining Thom for the folk-punk band Thumb of the Maid. After its other members departed, Thom and Greg formed Moore Brothers and released their debut, Colossal Small, on Amazing Grease (founded by Pavement’s Scott Kannberg).
