:Album Description:Declan McManus Pumps It Up. Joe Bussard. 'He's an eccentric record collector who's preserved all sorts of magical corners of music - although he says things like, 'There are no good jazz records made after 1927.'' Elvis Costello - Esquire UK October 2005 'This is the music of poor whites and blacks: wild-ass jazz and string-band hillbilly, surreal yodels and king snake moans, lightning-bolt blues and whorehouse romps and orgasmic gospel.

Travelin' Down the Road
: :Dave Macon was over 50 years old when, in the early 1920s, the emergence of motorized trucking caused him to give up his mule-drawn freight-hauling business and try his hand at entertaining. By 1927, when Nashville's WSM radio renamed its Barn Dance show The Grand Ole Opry, the ever-grinning, banjo-strumming 'Uncle' Dave was its biggest star--and he remained a fixture there until his death in 1952. Along the way he made nearly 200 recordings for a variety of labels, and this collection features some of his most popular works, which influenced ...

Uncle Dave At Home
: :No Tennessee folk singer has done more for the traditional American Music than Uncle Dave Macon.

He was one of the first authentic Southern folk musicians to record commercially and he helped found Nashville's famous Grand Ole Opry and was one of the first members of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
