“The first serious and comprehensive re-issues of one of the key figures in Old Time Music/early Country Music. Re-mastered and compiled by the Grammy Award winning Chris King this is one of the most important and serious re-issue projects for some time. Stupendous music that will be a revelation. J.E. Mainer, the headline name on this collection, appears on CD A, all the songs, and CD B, some of the songs. CDs C and D are other artists.”
“One word describes this set - Superb! This is excellent music - if you want to know what early Country music sounded like, get this set. The vocals are clear and concise - it's hard to realise these were taken from recordings made 70 years ago. The music is clean and precise, complementing the vocals perfectly. I especially like the 'mother' and 'father' songs which give an insight into the hard life of people living though the Depressiion Years in America.” - Roy Black
