SOUTHERN
MOUNTAIN CLASSICS:(Instrumentals). seven mountain classics are tunes
that are not likely to go out of style. In fact the tunes in this recording
have been prize for as long as there has been old-time fiddlers to rub
and chuck resin on a bow, dancers to gather for a square dance, or banjo
players to pick out a melody. These tunes have remained classics because
they were great the moment they were written and if anything they have
only improved with age.

American music. This tape contains tunes such as Rose Tree, Cluck Old Hen,
The Girl I left Behind, and Haste to the Wedding .

AUTHENTIC OUTLAW BALLADS:(Vocal), like the outlaws
themselves outlaw ballads pack a pretty fair punch and lyrics and music
they tell the unvarnished tales of daring and often tragic lives.Those
who compose the ballads were far from impartial in wielding their pens
many had a score to settle or wrong to right or a moral to deliver.

FRONT
PORCH CLASSICS
(instrumental) Just like the neighbors who drop by to enjoy the music and
fellowship on the front porch, the music itself had a restless spirit and
was soon on the move. Some tunes went westward on mules and covered wagons
with pioneers, others found themselves being sung around Civil War camp
fires. Listen to these classics being played with banjo, fiddle, dulcimer,
harmonica, accordion, and washboard . Playing songs like Oh Susanne, Buffalo
Gals and Johnny Comes Marching Home and others.

COWBOY
SONGS OF THE WILD FRONTIER
(vocals) Cowboys sang, they sang of long days and short nights, they sang
of wild broncs, whiskey, and pals gone. Besides being sung for pleasure
songs were tools of the working cowboy. Night herding cowboys either sang,
whistled, hummed or spoke to soothe a jumpy herd. This collection has such
classics as Bury Me Not On the Lone Prairie, Devil In the Deep Blue Sea,
Texas Rangers, When the Works All Done This Fall.
