Legends Of Old-Time Music: Fifty Years Of County Records is what PopMatters’ Ed Whitelock calls “an anthology that deserves a place among the great and groundbreaking anthologies of early American recorded music. This is a collection filled with discovery, celebrating the work of those local legends who, while anonymous in the eyes and ears of the mass audience, nonetheless shaped the course of popular music in the twentieth century. This collection belongs alongside Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music, Alan Lomax’s Sounds of the South, and Dust to Digital’s Goodbye Babylon in the collection of any serious devotee of American folk music.”
These are the field recordings, mostly from the late 1960s, and the musicians that made the current old time music revival possible.
