"If you are a dyed-in-the-wool Erik Darling fan, you won't find much of him on this CD. The last 10 songs on the CD [from "Hard and it's Hard" to "What Will We Do With The Baby-O"] come from a much earlier record entitled "Banjo Music of the Southern Appalachians" on which the songs are sung by "the Kissoy Sisters and Robin Roberts" with Erik Darling accompanying them on the banjo. None of them is remarkable. It's a nice collection of Appalachian music, but if you are looking for Erik ,try elsewhere."
Best compendium of souther Appalachian music I've heard.

"Excellent, but don't buy it for Eric Darling material...if it's there, it can't readily be identified."
