Found Sounds, 25 Jan 2008

By	Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews

Without the CD it was never given much thought to transcribe Cylinders but nowadays with more roots music collectors than ever before the Archeophone Company has done just that with music never hear for around 100 years!
Its American music in the main so its not about cover versions-these represent the first time round.
This was a time before record charts and even before the birth of Jazz.
Sheet music was how popularity was guaged but you can assume that music issued on cylinders was to some degree a barometer of its popularity as this was the Age of the Drawing Room Ballad as well.
This set concentrates on what led to the blues but it would not be till the 20s that the first records were made of what was to lead to the blues as we know it
