This album draws on the collections of John Quincy Wolf and Max Hunter. Working separately from the 1950s to the 1970s, the two captured thousands of songs that otherwise would have been lost for all time. In some cases, folk musicians were recorded on their deathbeds. Some of the songs exist nowhere else.
