Compiled on this exciting release are some of the greatest recordings of Early American rural music ever made. This volume presents an array of all-time great traditional musicians/masters of early country fiddling, banjo & guitar playing, and singing. These recordings were captured at a period during the golden age of recording when traditional styles were at their peak of power and emotion.

This volume has extensive notes and beautiful period photographs that work together with the music to communicate an exciting sense of discovery.
