This review is from: Times Ain't Like They Used To Be, Vol. 2: Early American Rural Music (Audio CD)

I would like to put in one comment for all eight volumes of this great collection. Amazingly awesome. It features a great array of entertainers from that era and portrays the music of that time at the best. It shows the greatness of older blues music gospel music string music cajun music. There are entertainers on this CD Series that are hard to come by since they only did about 6-10 sides for their whole career. I would highly reccomend this entire eight volume set to all who love the older twang sound of that era where country music was country music.
