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.

An absolutely killer bluegrass/old-timey collection...! August 25, 2005
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
When this album originally came out, it was one of the first collections of its kind, a deep exploration of pre-WWII banjo music that included some of the finest plunkers of the 1920s and '30s. Buell Kazee, Dave Macon, Charlie Poole and the Coon Creek Girls are among the more well-known artists on here, although it's the more idiosyncratic choices that make this such a charming set. There's plenty of the weirdness, spookiness, the authenticity and immediacy that makes these type of vintage recordings so fascinating... This is a great collection, the kind of music I could leave playing on the stereo for days on end, and be both satisfied and surprised anew each and every time I hear it. Great job on the sound remastering, too, by the way! Highly recommended, especially if you enjoyed the Harry Smith collections.
