Cousin Emmy & the New Lost City Ramblers - New Lost City Ramblers with Cousin Emmy - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Vinyl LP pressing. Myles has released his eagerly awaited EP, 'A Minute.', a seven-track collection featuring the single 'Nice to Meet You' and fan favourites like 'Whisper', 'Stargazing', and 'Wait for You'. The EP, Myles explains, is deeply personal, touching on connections, time, and the often-overlooked spaces in between. 'Each song tells it's own story, but they all tie into growth, reflection, and the impact relationships have on who we become. As a whole, 'A Minute.' is about finding clarity in uncertain times, whether in relationships or life itself. It's about those small moments that end up meaning the most'.

During the folk music revival of the 1950s and '60s, the old-time string band New Lost City Ramblers rekindled traditions of southern mountain music, introducing them to wider audiences. Here John Cohen, Mike Seeger, and Tracy Schwartz provide backing for Cousin Emmy, the skilled banjo player, fiddler, and singer, whose legacy as a country music pioneer is cemented in the memories of those who heard her animated performances onstage and on the radio. This album contains some of her only recorded material, including several of her own compositions along with selections of old-time and bluegrass repertoire.

In the original notes to this recording, Mike Seeger writes, InchThe songs on this album were recorded by commercial companies and the Library of Congress in the southeastern mountains between 1925 and 1935, and show the first attempts of the hill musicians to 'make a hit' with old traditional songs that had been in the mountains since pioneer days.Inch
