FW-ASCH-7RR-2720 presents Riley "Shorty" Ward, his son, Johnny and his daughter-in-law Jean, recorded by in Middlesboro and Bloombury, in Bell Co., Kentucky. Instrumentation includes guitar, steel guitar and occasional harmonica. The family "wants to be known as the Cumberland Mountain Singing Family." The lyrics and song titles have been written out by Jim and are in the new acid-free tape box. The tape box states that this tape is the second made of Shorty and his family. The recording date is not mentioned; however, it could not have before 1963 - the release date for a hit song they sing - We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds. The songs are a mix of country songs from mid-twentieth century and more traditional songs. I See other sheet for track list and durations.
