Description

Shanachie DVD 608 / black and white / Approx 2 hours / 32 total songs / Through extensive touring, recording, and tv appearances in the 1950s and 1960s, the New Lost City Ramblers were the first group to popularize old time string band music. They played the sounds that came from back porches and parlors, barbeques and barn dances, with joy and dedication to the traditions. This show is essential to anyone whose interests lie in folk, alternative country, or Americana. The Greenbriar Boys played a delightful, eclectic mixture of bluegrass, traditional country and Nashville, with touches of vaudeville and blues. They were very popular during the early 1960s when interest in this music was blossoming on the urban folk scene, and this show captures their outstanding musicianship at its peak.
