This 7 CD box set contains 167 all-time great performances by some of the finest country musicians who ever lived -- it is a treasure trove of Americana. Since all the recordings are from the 1920's and 1930's, it's as close to the ultimate sources as anything can be. Included in this box set is a 32 page 5" x 11" booklet containing stunning period photos of many of the musicians and copious background notes.
