Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Great music but no words.......2003-12-07

This CD is a great example of traditional mountain songs being played by traditional mountain instruments. However, I bought this CD assuming that, in addition to the great music, I would also have a chance to learn all the words to so many of the old songs that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. Unfortunatly, this CD is entirely instrumental. There are no words. If you are looking for an instrumental CD, this is a great buy. But, if you want to learn the words to these great old songs, look elsewhere because this CD is no help.

4 out of 5 stars American Originals.......2002-06-24

Anyone with a love of American roots music, will cherish this record. It documents the style of music typical to Appalachian region of the Northeast. The plethora of musical instruments which ranges from the banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, and guitar creates a unique sound to the region. A great album for the interested in old, American music.
