ABOUT THE ALBUM
Here are 24 tracks of rare music by the fiddlers, string bands and family singers of the "Tar Heel State," recorded 1926-1936 during a pivotal decade of unparalleled artistic achievement. You'll hear classic fiddle and banjo tunes, folk songs and murder ballads, gospel hymns and mountain blues, all performed by the state's top musical talent of the era. The music is digitally remastered, with most tracks appearing on CD for the first time. Includes a 24-page, full-color booklet containing rare vintage photographs, many unpublished until now, and extensive historical notes on the era, the songs, and the musicians.
