Country Songs, Old and New

Produced by Mike Seeger towards the end of 1959 as The Country Gentlemen's music was solidifying into the sound that would bring them enduring fame, Country Songs, Old and New demonstrates how the band helped define modern bluegrass. This is their first-ever album length release, reissued in 1990 by Smithsonian Folkways.
