For the first time ever this much overlooked and historically vital area of American musical development has being focused on with this three CD release. Featuring a mixture of well-known songs by some of American music's most celebrated stars and rare versions from some lesser known but equally relevant artists, this release covers all bases, containing 75 numbers recorded in the USA with their origins in the British Isles, encompassing Old- Timey, Blues, Cajun, Bluegrass, Gospel, and Country. These songs have passed from the old nation to the new one where they became standards.
