Description

Compilation of rare and amazing old time/early country music recordings newly transferred from the original 78RPM records. Curated and annotated by old-time musician/Tiki Parlour founder David Bragger. (This set includes the ultra rare alternate takes of Hoyt Ming’s Indian War Whoop and Old Red.)

From the golden age of field recordings of early country and old time from the early 1920s to mid 1930s, these fabulously rare recordings from the Chris King collection stand out as some of the most important. This collection focuses on the Mississippi region and features performances by true folk musicians-Leake County Revelers, Nations Brothers, Mississippi ‘Possum Hunters and many more.
