Synopsis
Album Description
Originally released by County Records in 1969, "Mountain Banjo Songs & Tunes" was the first collection of pre-war banjo performances ever issued. The underlying theme of the original collection was that there was no single "old-time banjo style" but rather an astounding variety of approaches to playing the five-string banjo. This re-issue of the LP carries the point further with additional tracks and greatly improved sound. An essential CD for the fan of old-time ballads, songs, and instrumentals; the set contains fine examples of the clawhammer, three-finger, classical, and minstrel styles of five-string banjo. With extensive notes & tunings by noted musician Bob Buckingham and rare photos from the collection of Jim Bollman.
