Synopsis
Product Description
Folklorist, teacher and performer Jimmie Driftwood wrote over 6000 songs during his extraordinary life. Presented here are his first 2 LPs for RCA Victor Records, Sings Newly Discovered Early American Folk Songs (1958) and The Wilderness Road (1959). Over-brimming with vernacular charm, tall tales and boundless spirit, Jimmie captures the traditional songs of the Ozark Mountains and presents them in authentic and enlightening renditions. Doubtless the best known song here would be Battle Of New Orleans (Johnny Horton's hit recording spent 10 weeks at #1) closely followed by Tennessee Stud (recorded by Johnny Cash, Eddy Arnold and a multitude of others) but beyond these, numerous highlights await. Remastered from the original RCA Victor master tapes in 2013. 20 page full colour booklet with exclusive liner notes and rare photos. The original groundbreaking albums in full, 31 tracks in all.
