The New Lost City Ramblers - The New Lost City Ramblers With Cousin Emmy - VINYL LP

Cousin Emmy, born Cynthia May Carver (1903-1980) in Barren County, Kentucky, brought the old time banjo music of her roots to glitzier venues, where she donned sequined dresses to create a stage presence, all the while maintaining the integrity of her clear vocals and banjo frailing. It was at such a venue, at a InchCountry & Western Night performanceInch at the Disneyland Resort in 1961, that she happened to meet the New Lost City Ramblers, who accompany her on this album. The quintessential music of Cousin Emmy can be heard on this album in the classic bluegrass played in the style of mountainous regions, sometimes very popular in the mountains of eastern Kentucky but rarely recorded, and in Emmy's reinterpretations that became standalone classics themselves, such as Inch Ruby are you mad at your man?Inch

Vinyl LP pressing. Seventh Sojourn is the eighth album by The Moody Blues, released in 1972. The opening track, Mike Pinder's InchLost in a Lost WorldInch laments the brutality of revolution and references racial tension. Several songs contain overt political references. InchYou and Me,Inch like InchQuestionInch from two years earlier, alludes to ongoing wars and conflicts, including Vietnam. However, although the album showcases political concerns, in the 1990 documentary The Moody Blues Legend of a Band, bassist John Lodge described InchI'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)Inch as a response to fans who mistakenly read guru-like wisdom into the Moodies' lyrics. Instrumentally, singer/keyboardist Mike Pinder, in addition to the Mellotron, used a similar keyboard device called the Chamberlin.

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. Formed in 1958 by Mike Seeger, John Cohen, and Tom Paley, the Ramblers introduced the regional styles of southern ballads, blues, string bands, and bluegrass to northerners yearning for a sound and an experience not found in mainstream music. NLCR participated in the old-time music revival, and continued to directly influence many later musicians such as Ry Cooder, Bob Dylan and Jerry Garcia.
