Kasper Delmar "Stranger" Malone[1] (born October 25, 1909, near Lovelaceville, Kentucky – May 30, 2005, in Rome, Georgia[2]) was an American musician. Malone's career as a recording artist spanned 77 years and, according to his biographer George King, is recognized as the longest by the Guinness World Records.[3] His first recording, eight 78 rpm sides, was made by Columbia Records in 1926; his last one, with the Little Country Giants on their debut album Breaking Hearts and Living Free, in 2005. Malone was one of the first documented clarinet players in country music.[2]
