Format:Audio CD
Considering the age of these recordings they are excellent quality and the music was right at the beginning of the American Folk Explosion. Like all compilation albums there will be tracks you love and others you'll wonder why they were included but it is still well worth the modest asking price. Gives a real taste of the early country folk scene in the US in the late 20's to 40's.

Format:Audio CD
With 60 tracks it seems good value but it's a collection of cowboys yowling along with the coyotes. I dare say there's more bluegrass on the dark side of the moon. "Country, Bluegrass and Mountain Music" says the title with a matching picture on the front cover - even though the banjo is mostly hidden; somebody must have a conscience. But there is absolutely minimal class instrumental; I'm not even sure it comes within what most would expect of 'country'. In my opinion this is just an attempt to cash in on the buzz words 'bluegrass' and 'mountain'. I've played my copy once and cannot see me playing it again intentionally.

some of this c.d. was quite enjoyable, but the backings and some of the singing were a bit "dodgy". all in all i thought it was worth the money, i made one c.d. out of the pieces that i liked best. some of the songs surprised me as i had only heard modern versions of them and assumed they were recorded in the las twenty to thirty years rather than so long ago. interestin!

Three hours of "gay" nostalgia
Turn nostalgic and get into that selection of 60 old-time country classics. Of course that's not a concert in a honky-tonk. Read more
