This bluegrass album has some real gems, many have not seen the light of day for more than 30 years. Thanks to the success of “O Brother Where Art Thou”, fans of Mountain-Music can enjoy songs from the past and the artist that were never given the recognition they deserved. The Rounder Heritage Series opens the door and the insight to some of the earliest selections and the originality that prevailed. Much of what you hear on this CD began as entertainment for themselves. After a hard days work in the fields, early Americans would sit on the front porch and take up their banjos, guitars and fiddles as a stress-buster for the family and neighbors. Finally, an album of cross-section music that’s been on the horizon for decades. If I were going to recommend an album in the genre of Bluegrass, this would be the one. A bargain value of 28 selections well over an hour of artists and musicians doing what comes naturally…music from the times and hearts of our early pioneers…pure Americana.
