Worried Blues
Wanna hear what 1920s Appalachia sounded like? This 4-disc set offers 99 high, lonesome tracks from the Virginia and West Virginia mountains, featuring the complete Okeh sides of guitarist Frank Hutchison the complete Okeh and Victor sides of singer Kelly Harrell, along with tracks from the Tenneva Ramblers (featuring guitarist Claude Grant and mandolin ace Jack Grant) and the Blue Ridge Highballers.
