Product Description

Description

This excellent three-disc box set compiles 78s cut between 1925 and 1941 that feature, in one aspect or another, the stand-up string bass. On the surface, the set seems aimed primarily at string bass fans, or those interested in the development of the instrument, and such listeners will find much to appreciate here. But HOW LOW CAN YOU GO is also an excellent compilation of old-timey music, encompassing blues, country, Western swing, gospel, and other styles.
In this way,HOW LOW CAN YOU GO will appeal to nearly everyone interested in American roots. The bass is featured prominently in many tracks, but is by no means the focus of the set. Instead, the set skips from jug bands to juke-joint rags, from prairie ballads to fiery gospel, creating a fun, enlightening sampler of the pre-World War II American musical landscape. Thiscomes highly recommended to fans of the AMERICAN FOLK ANTHOLGY, Yazoo compilations, and vintage American roots in general.
