The British Archive of Country Music is responsible for this random 22 track anthology that includes some gems along with some material from the 1920s and 30s that is definitely of lesser interest. Some of the more appealing cuts include GOING UP TOWN and AUNT CLARA'S WALTZ by Sharp, Hinman & Sharp, JOHNNIE GET YOUR GUN (Fate Norris), ENGINEER FRANK HAWK (Rainey Old-Time Band), and good songs & tunes by Bela Lam, Odus & Woodrow, Gwen Foster, and the Tennessee Ramblers. Somehow a 1952 cut of Wade Mainer's BLUE RIDGE MT. BLUES has also sneaked in among the mostly 1920s recordings that also include 2 fiddle tunes by Uncle Am Stuart, H.M. Barnes, The Allen Brothers, John & Emery McClung and Ernest Thompson. Some quite interesting tracks here, but not essential listening for the most part.
