Delightful color portraits painted by celebrated artist Robert Crumb, with biographical information by music historian Richard Nevins. The 40-card set, on heavy stock, is housed in an illustrated shrink-wrapped gift box. Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family are among the well-known country musicians featured. But the true charm of this wonderful collection are the now very obscure groups with such enchanting names as The Happy Hayseeds, Gid Tanner & his Skillet Lickers, Dr. Humphrey Bate & his Possum Hunters, Uncle Dave Macon & his Fruit-Jar Drinkers, Mumford Bean and his Itawambians, Ernest Stoneman and the Blue Ridge Corn Shuckers, Hoyt Ming & his Pep Steppers, Frank Blevins & His Tar Heel Rattlers, Red Patterson's Piedmont Log Rollers and Al Hopkins & his Buckle Busters. Originally published over twenty years ago, this new edition from Denis Kitchen Publishing features updated bios and subtle design changes.
