"A pleasant surprise truly awaits 'round every turn
of this eclectic gathering of vintage rural love
songs...Leads down the road of true love, lost love,
sweethearts and jellyroll, unforgettable brown eyes
and rose-red lips, beaming joy and mournful
sorrow." - Blues Rag
"This is the bedrock of American music, well-
selected and with the best sound quality
available...juxtaposes a startling range of material
and yet retains a relatively cohesive feel" - Sing Out

A collection of classic recordings from the 1920s and 30s featuring many all-time great performances of early American traditional music. These two volumes of love songs provide as well a fascinating overview of early American traditional musical styles from ancient ballads to lyrical blues.
