5.0 out of 5 stars Great Music from Rounder!!, June 17, 2005

This review is from: The Real Music Box: 25 Years of Rounder Records (Audio CD)

This is eight CD's (plus bonus if you have what I have) of great American folk/blues/bluegrass/zydeco. Rounder has done it year in and year out better than any. Let them choose the songs. There are many favorites here for me: When God Dips his Pen of Love into my Heart, Never Will Give Up, We Believe in Happy Endings, and I Ain't Broke (But I'm Badly Bent). I heartily recommend this set. Every CD is worth a listen and will contain a treasure. Depending on your taste, several will be listened to whole again and again. Way to go Rounder!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A combination of four great sets from Rounder, July 15, 2007

This review is from: The Real Music Box: 25 Years of Rounder Records (Audio CD)

Rounder Records has done at least four "25th Anniversary" sets, and this box set includes four of the sets. I first discovered the Rounder sets when I bought "Hand-Picked 25 Years of Bluegrass on Rounder Records." I've given that set to several people as an introduction to Bluegrass.

This box set includes the following CDs that are also available on Amazon.

Hills of Home: 25 Years of Folk Music
Louisiana Spice: 25 Years of Louisiana Music
Deep Blue: 25 Years of Blues on Rounder Records
Hand-Picked: 25 Years of Bluegrass on Rounder Records

This set is a good value and a great selection of american music.

Soundscape of incomparable depth and breadth - miles of music - full of suprises - used it as the soundtrack for my big L party - no one went away dissapointed - listen to it again and again and find some new delight every time - the booklet was missing on my copy but them lovely folks at Rounder sent me one through the post after I told them about it.
