No release date can be scheduled yet."<br /><br />So ... no cigar yet, but still something to anticipate! (I despaired of ever seeing a box set on the Coopers, but Bear finally came through.)<br /><br />Here's hoping!

It took them about 15 years to finally release the Uncle Dave Macon set, so I guess patience is a virtue in, as the old saying goes.Allen`s Archivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453190909114697645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256879033235982364.post-42369337656644014852013-12-20T06:29:09.239-06:002013-12-20T06:29:09.239-06:00Fred, Bismarck:

I think I have all the Columbia/ARC material thanks to Harlan's Chronological Series on Acuff. All your efforts are much appreciated for those of us who lack the resources to acquire all the older material we wish we had :-)Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03456403651688788139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256879033235982364.post-78912266447773602482012-12-03T06:22:26.737-06:002012-12-03T06:22:26.737-06:00

This is among some of his better work - lacking the edge of his latter Columbia material, but nonetheless nice stuff. He had a great band during this time period. In my judgment, the only recordings that I'd place ahead of these are his work for Capitol, which is oft overlooked - perhaps due to his short stay with the label - but for me still his top work.<br /><br />Again, thanks for everything you in making recordings like these available for us.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03456403651688788139noreply@blogger.com
