Toe-tapping music
This is a wonderful collection of timeless music. I can’t get “Old Dogs” out of my mind. The blend of the voices is wonderful. These CDs stay on the top of my stack!

Found Treasure
The Cumberland Trio were one of the finest groups to emerge from the 60’s Folk Boom.

This is a must-have for any collection.
