Bear family records has put a lot of time and effort in compiling this box set which features everything that Merle Travis has recorded between the years 1943 and 1955. Some solo recordings as well, as recordings from groups that he was a member of. At one time or another it must have for all Merle Travis fans..

This set is a sheer joy from beginning to end! Although I've never been a fan of the Muted Trumpet on some of the earlier track, the songs & killer guitar pickin' more than make up for it, It's just an amazing way to spend a day working while listening through this set, The prominent thing other than the obvious guitar pickin' is the sharp sense of humor in the delivery of these early recordings, some great unissued cuts also, If you're a fan a Merle & you're hesitating, better snap it up quick as I believe this may now be out of print Worth every cent! G-MINUS-MARK
this is a fabulous set and one of the most highly regarded of all the Bear Family sets. It is however expensive and more for those seeking complete or near complete compilations/sets. There are excellent smaller sets and single cd compilations that are cheaper, but depending on your needs and finances, this is surely a wonderfully interesting collection. It also has a strong re-sale value.
In tune and on time
