Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars wonderful cd set.......2007-02-08

this was a gift for my husband,who plays music also.What was so great about this,is that his grandfather plays 7 songs on this set.The music was so clear.We have old 78"s of his music,but it doesn't sound near as good.All the songs have great sound quality.The price is a good value,and it arrived on time.Also the info book with it was a nice surprise.

5 out of 5 stars stupendous.......2006-10-21

a stupendous 7 cd box set of great old time recordings. a must-have for all old time american folk music affecinados. the songs are wonderful and the sound quality is fantastic. get it if you can.

5 out of 5 stars One of the top 5 collections of pre-war music ever........2006-01-18

This project pulls together some of the finest, most authentic fiddle, banjo & ballad performances I have ever heard. There is sort of a seamless transition from pre-war records to post-war field sessions collected by Lomax and others and a huge amount of research and care taken by Yazoo. I will probably have to buy a second set since I have worn out the first one. Great performances by Burnett & Rutherford, the Walter Family, Stepp, and others. The highest, best recommendation!

5 out of 5 stars WOW!! So Much Great Muisc from one State!!.......2003-04-01

The problem with this box is where does one start the praise. With seven discs of material from the 1920s and 1930s, this collection serves as a fine introduction not only to the white folk music of Kentucky but to that of South as well. It is all here--string bands, ballads, gospel. A wonderfully illustrated text accompanies the set. At the heart of the box are the many fiddle tunes demonstrating once and for all that Kentucky fiddlers can lay claim to being some of the best going at that time. The only drawback is the scant recording information, I would like to have seen more discographical information included, particularly regarding the field recordings. But the purpose here is the music and there is plenty of it. Let's hope we can see boxes like this for the rest of South.
