[Notes]
This LP album was produced by the National Geographic Society and was performed mainly by local musicians although Jimmie Driftwood is featured on a few of the songs. All songs are great except maybe two. "Arkansas Traveler" was recorded at a dance and the foot-stomping makes you feel you're right there. Vinyl LP Gatefold sleeve with 10 pages of full-color liner notes.
