This is a good LP of field type recordings from Tennessee. I don`t know anything about any of these people other than the information in the booklet that came with the album, so I`m including scans of the booklet. My copy of this has some water damage, as you can see in the pictures, but the disc still sounds ok. Enjoy!!

Thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteAloha! I just have to write you a note to let you know how much I and my friends here in the Holler in Mars Hill appreciate/savor/study and enjoy your site! I also play and sing and write in these genres, and as a writer on the WFMU blog site, I discovered your page through there. Well, after downloading MANY lps from your collection recently, I had to tell you how much I appreciate your work here. This record in particular is a real treasure- I SO love small/micro pressing regional albums, as they are so often a great source of real old-time phrasing and styles. This page is a huge help to what I call my 'song mining' / dredging the past for inspiration and instruction. Love, Drew
ReplyDeleteThanks!! Glad you like it. I wish more downloaders would talk about the downloads at least a little. Thanks to all followers who do leave comments about the records.
ReplyDeleteWhile I don't mind the downloading, I still own the rights to the Pine Breeze Recordings, and most of the old-timers are deceased (their families aren't) and would be glad that folks are enjoying their music and the field recordings we made over 30 years ago, I would like to make a suggestion. Make a contribution to MusiCares since you aren't having to pay for the songs or the royalties. Site: http://www2.grammy.com/musicares/ They have helped one of our musician sons when he had a brain injury. You can see more on Blaine, Eldia and all at: YouTube.com/user/citicoron
