Eck's brilliant 78 recordings finally available on CD,
By
This review is from: Old-Time Texas Fiddler (Audio CD)
It's been a long time since Peter Feldmann's Sonyatone LP release of Eck Robertson's commercial recordings went out of print. County has finally assembled a strong collection of Eck's best. As you would expect with County Records, the sound quality is superb, since County insists on tracking down the cleanest 78 copies available for mastering. I'm fond of the graphics, too, because I did them(!) Now, if only County will reissue the LP of Eck's 1960s recordings that were originally produced by Mike Seeger!

Not the first, but one of the best!,

This review is from: Old-Time Texas Fiddler (Audio CD)
Recently, when I came across a very old, pre-electric country fiddle 78 of "Arkansas Traveler" in a thrift store, I assumed that what I'd found was a knock-off of Eck Robertson's famous "first" country record, "Arkansas Traveler"/"Sallie Gooden," from 1922. Imagine my suprise when comparison-dating revealed my find to be from the year 1916! Recorded by one Don Richardson, the record also features "Old Zip Coon," and it was released on Columbia A2140. And who knows who might have beat Richardson to the studio?But, even if Eck Robertson wasn't the first, he was one of the best of the "old-time" country musicians. This is superb vintage country, and the sound restoration is miraculous. This may be the best collection of its type, and, as such, your collection cannot be without it.

Eck Robertson just happens to be my great uncle, so it is with a great deal of pride that I reccommend this cd to everyone who is intrested in good fiddle music. Uncle Eck was truly one of the greatest musicians of all time.

I love that so much of this stuff is available on CD now. I wish there were more recordings like this of Texas fiddling before the advent of swing and competition styles.

Truely Perfect. It shows how talented of a fiddler as well as a singer he was. It is a older style of Swing music. Highly recommend.
