CD Reviews

Great for historical overview.
Gary D. Johnson | Fort Wayne, IN United States | 10/02/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Excellent historical document. Absolutely authentic. The liner notes are exceptional. But, like much music of this vintage, recording quality is such that it's better for studying than listening enjoyment. The sound of often out of tune barroom pianos recorded through soup cans is cool for awhile, but it wears on the ears."
