I came across this as a 'you might also like' for "O Brother, Where Art Thou"..a fantastic soundtrack you must get. This...is nothing like it. It's more like what Pa Ingalls played for Laura in Little House on the Prarie. Not to say that's bad,...  (Read full review at Amazon)

Classic Old-Time Music Full Description
Classic Old-Time Music This collection of old-time social and instrumental string-band music spotlights instrumental prowess. Old-time music features playing styles that pre-date bluegrass, emerging from the string band tradition stretching back to the early years of United States history. Both African-American and Anglo-American ingredients are at its core, the banjo having African origins, the fiddle European. Some of the most revered sources of old-time roots music-Dock Boggs, Roscoe Holcomb, Wade Ward, Tommy Jarrell, and more-are heard playing in their original styles. The Grateful Dead's cover of "Don't Let Your Deal Go Down" and Bob Dylan's rendition of Clarence Ashley's "Little Sadie" clearly attest to the continuing influence of these songs. Compiled and annotated by Jeff Place.
