This is bedrock country music that hearkens back to a time when almost everybody in the southern United States lived in the country. Back then people knew how to live. Charlie Poole just did it on a broader scale than most. He may not have been the best husband or father or most upright citizen (I say "may" because who am I to judge?), but the one thing he did well he and his associates did extremely well. That "thing" was. of course, playing music. Lots of tunes here with various origins: popular songs of the day, Old World tunes, banjo and fiddle tunes, sentimental ballads, and humorous ditties. Poole and his band are always "tight" in perhaps more ways than one, if you know what I mean. This set is a real treasure, especially as it also includes rare recordings which influenced Poole or which were other versions of tunes he did. A set not to be missed by those who are interested in real American country music.Read full review
