Synopsis

Product Description

Collectively known as the New Lost City Ramblers, Mike Seeger, John Cohen, and Tom Paley were pioneers in the revival of southern mountain music during the folk music revival of the late 1950s and 1960s. They brought the sounds of genuine old-time string band music and early bluegrass to eager city and college audiences who had grown disillusioned with the commercial pap of the folk boom. 79 tracks, 3 CDs, each with its own booklet of extensive notes, more than three hours of music!

Fun summary

Jonathan Brown | Fair Oaks,, CA USA | 02/06/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The NLCR were a premier group of old time musicians. This is a retrospective album in two parts. The first is a great collection from many of the NLCR albums. The second part has a wonderful collection of influences. So for example, if you like the instrumental Colored Aristocracy, you can here NLCRs play it and then the Rich Family. When I was first starting to play the five string and autoharp, the NLCR were great influences. I met them at one UCLA folk festival and in between sessions they were generous with tips and jamming. So I have always had a good feeling about them. This is well worth the price."
