5.0 out of 5 stars The original feel-good music, January 3, 2008

By	KA Ward "alwynbilly" (Great Falls MT USA) - See all my reviews

This music has always had a special place in my heart, and as an Americana gospel performer, I go back to this style much in playing for church and coffeehouse gigs. If you want to go mining for good solid tunes to play, go here or buy Harry Smith's Anthology of Folk Music. It is one of maybe 10 sources for evidence in a course I would call Americana 101. Unlike Louis Armstrong, who was making a big town name for jazz and blues at the time, this is the street music played in the rural South and Memphis.
It is hard not to smile when you hear this wobbly stuff...

5.0 out of 5 stars Memphis Jug Band And Gus Cannon, June 18, 2007

By	Diane E. Hoeksta "howellhoekstras" (Howell MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This style of music may not be for everyone. It is played on old moonshine jugs and vocals. I think it is an excellent collection of work. If you are a fan of JUG music I say put this in your collection. If you are wondering what JUG music is all about get this collection and it will turn you into a permanent fan for life. TRUEL NEAT.
