Classic Old-Time Music

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
This collection of old-time social and instrumental string-band music spotlights instrumental prowess. Old-time music features playing styles that pre-date bluegrass, emerging from the string band tradition stretching back to the early years of United States history. Both African-American and Anglo-American ingredients are at its core, the banjo having African origins, the fiddle European. Some of the most revered sources of old-time roots music-Dock Boggs, Roscoe Holcomb, Wade Ward, Tommy Jarrell, and more-are heard playing in their original styles. The Grateful Dead's cover of "Don't Let Your Deal Go Down" and Bob Dylan's rendition of Clarence Ashley's "Little Sadie" clearly attest to the continuing influence of these songs. Compiled and annotated by Jeff Place.

Mountain music magic.......2007-01-07

Here's another excellent compilation of material that originally appeared on various Folkways albums recorded during the last four decades of the twentieth century, all featuring old-timey country string band performances. The Red Clay Ramblers, The New Lost City Ramblers, Slim and Kirk McGhee, Doc Watson, Mike Seeger, and Clarence Ashley are just a few of the artists on this CD, and fiddles, banjos, and guitars are the instruments of choice. Whether it's Wade Wards wonderful banjo picking on the solo CHILLY WINDS, Mike Seeger's fiddle on BONAPARTE'S RETREAT, or the jubilant singing of Eric Davidson with the Iron Mountain String Band on SUGAR HILL, the music is rich in tradition and delightful to hear. Roots music fans will certainly love this CD, but so will anyone who enjoys old-time music from the southern mountains played to perfection. A most infectious CD, well worth acquiring.

A Great Mix of Old-Time Music.......2005-10-10

This CD contains a superb selection of old-time string music and vocals from an era that currently seems to be overlooked by the country-western crowd, and, to a certain extent,even the bluegrass affcionados. Some of the recordings in the mix are obviously dated and not the highest quality, but these are countered by crystal-clear performances by such greats as the New Lost City Ramblers, Mike Seeger, George Pegram, the Spare Change Boys, Mother Maybelle Carter and Doc Watson. This CD contains fiddle tunes, waltzes, cloggin' tunes, spirituals, instrumentals and vocals that are pure and totally acoustic. I love putting this CD in my truck, rolling down the windows, opening the moon roof, and cranking up the volume, drowning out the hip-hop coming from the hoopdies in the other lane. It's a fantastic selection.

mountain music at its peak.......2003-05-11

In this, the fourth of a series of collections culled from Smithsonian Folkways' massive archives, the focus is on the deep mountain music of masters famous and obscure, and the quality is uniformly high. Another plus is Jeff Place's excellent liner notes, which include informative annotations to each song or tune and performance. All told, this is the sort of thing that ought to make any devotee of Southern roots sounds very, very happy.

The performances come from both rural and revival artists, but the difference is academic, and the two meld into a seamless whole. Inevitably, a few songs are old, albeit never unwelcome, reliables, such as Dock Boggs's "Country Blues" and Clarence Ashley's "Little Sadie," but there are plenty of surprises, too. One has Maybelle Carter and Sara Carter Bayes reunited in the 1960s to do, interestingly, a song associated with the Delmore Brothers. The wonderful late-1960s LP -- never reissued in its entirety as a CD -- that Cousin Emmy recorded with the New Lost City Ramblers is tapped for an energetic, assured rendition of "Bowling Green" (also memorably sung elsewhere by the revivalist duo the Kossoy Sisters, and not to be confused with the Everly Brothers song of the same name). Roscoe Holcomb's "Trouble in Mind" is almost disorienting in its intensity, transforming a familiar song into something else entirely. There's Wade Ward's rocking banjo instrumental "Chilly Winds" (aka "Going Down This Road Feeling Bad") and Etta Baker and Cora Phillips's gorgeous banjo/guitar duet "Jaybird March." And there's everything else, too. If you're looking for mountain music at its peak, Smithsonian Folkways has -- as usual -- brought you there.

Album Description

Renowned stand-up bass player Todd Phillips (yes, another member of the talented Phillips family!) gathers a galaxy of his illustrious friends - Tony Trischka, Laurie Lewis, Tim O'Brien, Mike Marshall, Darol Anger and Scott Nygaard, to name a few - to play favorite old-timey ballads and dance tunes including Spotted Pony, Sugar in the Gourd, Rye Straw and Valley to Pray. "These old songs are art out of real life, evolved through generations by folks getting together and playing it with, and for, each other," says Todd. "They've influenced every contemporary American music form. Look at In the Pines -- it's been recorded by artists from Leadbelly to Connie Fran cis to Kurt Cobain. I wanted to add again to the lives of these tunes by playing, arranging, changing and recording them (and having fun doing it)."

Nice Mellow Pickin'.......1998-08-18

Good solid, soulful acoustic music. I first listened to it while driving through Kentucky and Tennessee. Some hot licks--check out "Spotted Pony" and some of that "High Lonesome Sound" as in the title tune. A few rough spots like it was a rush studio job but all together a fine example of acoustic instrumental old-time country music.

Album Description

Classic Rock at its best mixed with a blend of easy listening music. All original songs recorded by Rich Atwater & the Astronauts reminiscent of the old Elvis style, Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, and the Straycats. Derek Sivers of CD Baby.com fame says these are all potential Chart Busters! The song: A Man And A Woman In Love, is one of the most beautiful love songs of all time, an easy listening, melodic, tantalizing heart throb. And: How Can I Be Right When You Treat Me Wrong, is a great song in the vintage of David Gates & Bread. Great Rock n Roll is heard in Aviva From Tel Aviva, If You Knew Me Like I Knew You, Changing Times, and International Man. The French classic: Loire River Chateaux, will carry your heart into the Renaissance of delightful music. A Familiar Place In Time, Baby's Eyes, and Unexpected Delight are the epitomy of classic romance poetry set to music for those in love and those who wish to be loved. Someone To Love And To Talk To is a country/ro! ck style that will set your feet tappin' and your heart throbbin', and your mind moovin' in the direction of love and romance. In Love Again, and You're The One That Makes Me Happy Now, are happy upbeat tunes to regenerate the soul. The use of flute and strings is of especial note in the harmony of love lost and love found again. ROMANCE ,DREAMS, AND LOVE is a delightful album performed to classic style by a uniquely qualified artist/band: Rich Atwater & the Astronauts. Once the international distribution hones in on the American market you may see a group that takes to the air waves by storm and captures the public attention like the Beatles of 1964.

Romance,Dreams,and Love Review.......2006-05-12

I have this cd and love 2 songs in particular. "A Man and a Woman in Love" has a beautiful, smooth sound and the words make it perfect for a wedding. The song "Loire River Chateaux" makes you think of a dreamy, romantic ride on the river in France.
