Recorded between 1946 & 1951. Personnel: Merle Travis (vocals, guitar); Judy Hayden, Tennessee Ernie Ford (vocals); Eddie Kirk (guitar, background vocals); Johnny Bond, Roy Lanham (guitar); Pete Martinez, Leodie Jackson, Joaquin Murphy, Noel Boggs, Speedy West (steel guitar); Arthur Douglas "Doug" Dalton (mandolin); Harold Hensley, Tex Atchison (violin); George Tracy (harmonica); Billy Liebert (accordion, piano); Paul Sells, Pedro DePaul, Art Wenzel (accordion); Joe Strand, Vic Davis (piano); Joel Duroe (drums); Cliffie Stone (background vocals). Audio Remasterer: Doug Shearer. Liner Note Author: Brian Golbey. Recording information: Hollywood, CA (03/18/1946-08/30/1951). Arranger: Merle Travis. This isn't a definitive Merle Travis collection, but it does a good job of filling the gaps in Razor & Tie's Sweet Temptation compilation. It may omit "Cannon Ball Rag" and some other quintessential performances, but makes up for it by including the entire Folk Songs of the Hills album, with the original versions of "Nine Pound Hammer" and "Dark as a Dungeon." The bulk of this material was recorded during Travis' late-'40s peak, which means, unfortunately, that there is nothing from Walkin' the Strings, but then, anyone lucky enough to find a copy of that album should have a contractual obligation to pick it up. ~ Jim Smith minimize Album Information
