This album presents the original sounds of the Roaring Twenties, as played by the famous California Ramblers (along with several different vocalists) during 1925 to 1928. They were one of the consistently reliable dance bands of the '20s, playing 'hot' music of a very high order, and what is more, playing it in strict tempo a good ten years before we understood the term in connection with ballroom dancing.

The Lost Bayou Ramblers are like a snapshot of a bygone era. Their music is emotionally raw, intense, in a word, authentically Cajun.

Collectively known as the New Lost City Ramblers, Mike Seeger, John Cohen, and Tom Paley were pioneers in the revival of southern mountain music during the folk music revival of the late 1950s and 1960s. They brought the sounds of genuine old-time string band music and early bluegrass to eager city and college audiences who had grown disillusioned with the commercial pap of the folk boom. 79 tracks, 3 CDs, each with its own booklet of extensive notes, more than three hours of music!
