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

Dubbed a Inchtrio of insidious crusaders for 'old-timey' musicInch by Sing Out!'s Pete Welding, The New Lost City Ramblers helped bring old-time music to wider audiences through their performances as a band and through their work making field recordings of traditional musicians and resurrecting songs from old 78rpm discs.
