Description: The Johnson City Sessions - Can You Sing Or Play Old-Time Music? (4-CD Deluxe Box Set) Various - Country Music History 4 -CD boxed set (LP-size) with 136-page hardcover book, 100 tracks. Playing time approx. 302 mns.The famous 1927 Bristol Sessions, produced by Victor Records in Bristol, Tennessee are known as 'The Big Bang Of Country Music.' But don't overlook the recordings made in nearby Johnson City by Columbia Records in October 1928 and October 1929. Collectively, the Johnson City recordings are regarded by scholars, collectors, and lovers of old-time music as a distinctive cross-section of Appalachian music, captured on the cusp of the Great Depression. Indeed, the final recordings of the 1929 session took place on October 24 - the infamous 'Black Thursday' when Wall Street crashed.Bear Family Records has gathered the entire issued output of the 1928–29 Johnson City sessions. This is the first time all 100 songs have been issued together...and the first time many have been heard since the Depression. The accompanying 136-page, LP-size hardcover book contains newly researched essays on the background to the sessions and the artists, with many rare and unpublished photographs. Also included are complete song lyrics and a detailed discography.Three of these performances were chosen by the pioneering scholar Harry Smith for his 1952 compilation 'Anthology Of American Folk Music' - a seminal source for the urban folk revival of the 1950s and '60s: The Coo-Coo Bird by Clarence (Tom) Ashley, Old Lady And The Devil by Bill and Belle Reed, and Down On Penny's Farm by The Bentley Boys - the inspiration for Bob Dylan's Hard Times In New York Town and Maggie's Farm. Other gems include a topical best-seller of the Prohibition era, When the Roses Bloom Again For The Bootlegger, the Grant Brothers' Tell It To Me, revived by the Old Crow Medicine Show, and many more.'Can You Sing Or Play Old-Time Music?' is packed with stringband tunes, ancient ballads, sacred songs, hillbilly blues and blue yodels - the entrancing musical world of old Appalachia.Track Listing:CD 1: Shell Creek Quartet: My Boyhood Days • Back Where The Old Home Stands • Grant Brothers & Their Music: When A Man Is Mar- ried • Goodbye My Honey – I'm Gone • Tell It To Me • Johnson Boy • Roane County Ramblers: Home Town Blues • Southern No. 111 • Step High Waltz • Tennessee Waltz • Renus Rich & Carl Bradshaw: Goodbye Sweetheart • Sleep Baby Sleep • Clarence Green & Wise Brothers: Pride Of The Ball • Kitty Waltz • Clarence Green: Johnson City Blues • Ninety-Nine Years In Jail • Proxi- mity String Quartet: Lindy • Louise • Greensboro Boys Quartet: Sing Me A Song Of The Sunny South • Sweet Little Girl Of Mine • Richard Harold: The Battleship Maine • The Fisher's Maid • Sweet Bird • Mary Dear CD 2: Bowman Sisters: My Old Kentucky Home • Swanee River • Charlie Bowman & His Brothers: Roll On Buddy • Gonna Raise The Ruckus Tonight • Bill & Belle Reed: You Shall Be Free • Old Lady And The Devil • The Reed Children: I'll Be All Smiles Tonight • I Once Did Have A Sweetheart • McVay & Johnson: Ain't Going To Lay My Armor Down • I'll Be Ready When The Bridegroom Comes • Earl Shirkey & Roy Harper: Steamboat Man • When The Roses Bloom For The Bootlegger • Poor Little Joe • We Parted At The Gate • George Roark: I Ain't A Bit Drunk • My Old Coon Dog • Ed Helton Singers: A Storm On The Sea (The Sinking Of The Steamship Vestris) • My Old Cottage Home • Garland Brothers & Grinstead: Just Over The River • Beautiful • McCartt Brothers & Patterson: Green Valley Waltz • Over The Sea Waltz • Blalock & Yates: Morning Star Waltz • Pride Of The Ball • Jack Jackson: Flat Tire Blues • My Alabama Home CD 3: George Wade & Francum Braswell: Think A Little • When We Go A Courtin' • Jack Jackson: In Our Little Home Sweet Home • I'm Just A Black Sheep • Roane County Ramblers: Free A Little Bird – 1930 Model • Johnson City Rag • Callahan Rag • Alabama Trot • Wyatt & Brandon: Evalina • Lover's Farewell • Roy Harvey & Leonard Copeland: Just Pickin' • Beckley Rag • Underneath The Sugar Moon • Lonesome Weary Blues • The Spindale Quartet: Sweet Peace The Gift Of God's Love • God Will Take Care Of You • Face To Face • Lift Him Up • Earl Shirkey & Roy Harper: The Virginian Strike Of '23 • The Policeman's Little Child • My Yodeling Sweetheart • I'm Longing To Belong To Someone • We Have Moonshine In The West Virginia Hills • A Hobo's Pal • Moatsville String Ticklers: The West Virginia Hills • Moatsville Blues CD 4: Weaver Brothers: You Came Back To Me • Prison Sorrows • Byrd Moore & His Hot Shots: Frankie Silvers • The Hills Of Tennessee • Careless Love • Three Men Went A Hunting • Bateman Sacred Quartet: Nothing Like Old Time Religion • Some Day • Fred Ri- chards: My Katie • Danville Blues • Clarence Ashley: Dark Holler Blues • The Coo-Coo Bird • Little Sadie • Naomi Wise • The Bent- ley Boys: Down On Penny's Farm • Henhouse Blues • Bowman Sisters: Railroad Take Me Back • Old Lonesome Blues • Ephraim Woodie & The Henpecked Husbands: Last Gold Dollar • The Fatal Courtship • Ira & Eugene Yates: Powder And Paint • Sarah Jane • Ellis Williams: Buttermilk Blues • Smokey Blues Dear customer, Based on our longtime experience, consignments to the U.S.A., Canada, Africa, Australia, and South America may take up to three weeks, depending on the target country's custom clearance policy, and local deliverers.
