Free Music Review: Lovers of roots music will treasure this collection!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have read about Joe Bussard's passion for collecting old records and found his story fascinating, since all us "record nerds' can relate to him at one time or another. This is an excellent collection with original recordings from the 1920's and 30's featuring one of my favorites, The Weems String Band's Greenback Dollar from 1927, recorded on Columbia. How do I know this? Because Old Hat records provides us with dates, personnel, labels and stories about the artists along with excellent repro of the music. This one has 24 cuts featuring legends like Big Bill Broonzy, Gene Autry singing like Jimmie Rodgers, Banjo legend and showman Uncle Dave Macon and The Stripling Brothers' fantastic "The Lost Child", a fiddling romp. The Old Ark's A Moving by A.A. Gray and SevenFoot Dilly is one of those songs you can't get out of your head. Even weird jazz enters the mix with Luis Russell's 1929 record of "Call Of The Freaks" which sounds like you're drunk when you hear it. Lovers of early American roots music will treasure this fine collection. It really is a lot of fun, and if anyone makes fun or criticizes you for listening to this...they're stupid..and just ignore them.
