The Stuff

A two-cd compilation set of various musicians performing early blues, old country and Appalachia music. Even one that sounds like an old Cajun tune. Recordings gathered from the 1920s and 30s on the Yazoo Records label. 

"Old-timey."

Great stuff for those interested in the early days of recorded music. 

46 cuts in the package and a booklet of liner notes, old photos, reproductions of record labels and intricate artwork by Robert Crumb. 

For someone my age, it's like you've flashed back in time to stories once heard ...... of your grandparents living room and it's a Saturday night in small town South Dakota with the family gathered together listening to the radio. 

If country music hadn't strayed so far from its beginnings, I'd be listening to it today.
