Review:
A gem
I think this is a brilliant album. I tried it as a bit of a punt because it's the sort of thing I usually like and featured some real greats. It turned out to be a gem - fine songs in uniformly excellent performances.
My suggestion is that you listen to some samples: if you like what you hear, you won't be disappointed in the album. There's some really good singing in a variety of styles and fine bands who - thank heavens - aren't over-produced but just play very well and with real sincerity. There is also some genuinely great guitar work in places, for example from Brownie McGhee (of course!) and Doc Watson.
I am delighted with this album and if you have any interest at all in this genre I think you will be, too. Very warmly recommended.
