Product Description

Joe Allen - Wax Poetics (NYC) Summer 2004

Collecting in Lost Provinces: Put on yer boots. We stompin' through mountains in search of priceless 78s. faculty.sunydutchess.edu/allen/waxpoetics/volume-8.doc

Album Description

Reissues 22 songs and tunes recorded between 1927-1931 by stringbands from Ashe County, North Carolina, a mountainous area in the northwest corner of the state once known as "The Lost Provinces" because of its extreme isolation. The music includes traditional fiddle tunes, folk songs, Anglo-Irish ballads, comic songs, topical numbers, and original compositions, all from a time period often called the "golden era" of old-time string music. The anthology brings together for the first time the complete recordings of Frank Blevins & His Tar Heel Rattlers, the Carolina Night Hawks, the North Carolina Ridge Runners, and many more. All tracks on the CD have been carefully remastered from original 78rpm records. A 28-page booklet presents a detailed history of the music based on interviews with original band members. Also included is a complete discography and numerous vintage photographs, many never before published. Music From The Lost Provinces is the premier release! from Old Hat Records, a label devoted to quality reissues coupled with thorough historical research.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, 26 Feb 2009
By Mrs. Z. L. Reynolds "surfingbernard" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is just excellent, it's a collection of tunes from Old-Time string bands, the recording sound surprisingly clear considering they are dated 1927-1931, I have heard much worse quality jazz and classical recordings for this era, and you would have imagined that this music would have had less money thrown in its direction.

Expect stomping guitar and banjo, scraping fiddles and harmonicas, and some rather colourful nasal vocal performances including some wonderful harmonies- all with such spirit as you can't help but smile.If you were particularly looking for clawhammer banjo there are other CDs with more focus on the banjo, these arrangements are more based around the fiddle and vocal with banjo backup on some tunes, guitar on others, the banjo has only a few glorious moments of limelight- in particular there is a nice break on Chinese Breakdown and the banjo also plays excellent backup on that tune. The songs are great and these are authentic performances, warts and all. It's fantastic, I can't wait to play this for my Dad.
