Allen`s archive of early and old country music.

Hello neighbors!! On this page I`ll be posting county music (or music that influences country music) from my collection of 78`s LP`s and 45`s. Most of what I`ll have here will be from about 1900 up into the 1950`s or so. I`ll try to use stuff that is not currently available to buy. All artists I`ll be posting recorded before 1950, but some recordings may have been made later than 1950. I hope you all enjoy what I`ll be putting one here!!

Roy Acuff - Voices Of Vista

We have something different here. A recruiting LP for volunteers from about 1968. I have no idea what Vista is (or was). This is an interview with Roy Acuff with music, which is taken from records, not live music. They talk some about the history of the Grand Ole Opry, Roy`s history with the Opry and country music, about Roy`s partnership with Fred Rose. Happy listening!

VISTA was an acronym for Volunteers In Service To America, it was an American Peace Corps that was started during the Johnson Administration as part of the War on Poverty.

Just to add to Phillip Signey's comment: VISTA (and Johnson's whole anti-poverty movement) focused a lot of attention on Appalachia, which probably accounts for the interest that Roy Acuff had in the project.
