Extraordinary recording, tight driving American folk at its populist roots In the time of legends, Spring, 1963, four young fraternity brothers calling themselves the Cumberland Trio (math majors they ain’t)brought down the house at a University of Tennessee campus band showcase with their tight-driving all American blend of bluegrass, gospel, and seeds-of-rock, and landed a contract with RCA, where their 1964 Nashville recordings were produced by the legendary Chet Atkins. The group has re-r…

Great rebirth of music that should be kept ALIVE. Realistic AWESOME concert. Relayed heartfelt love of the music they were performing and their love of doing it. Hope chance comes to see them in another “Live” third reunion soon. I got an appreciation letter and background letter from artists that was very SPECIAL and information filled relating to this concert on the album. Review from cdbaby

REDISCOVER THE CUMBERLAND TRIO 50 years later The Cumberland Trio are performing with their original line-up and have just released a new CD recorded live in 1964.

Tight vocals, harmonies and acoustic instrumentation along with traditional folk tunes will keep you humming and singing along song after song. Since I received my copy in the mail this CD has been in my CD player with the repeat button enga…

These will fill your room and you’ll be singing along with the Trio Borne of the 60’s Folk scene this group remained True to the music and kept it alive with their Local Live concerts- no studio mixing here just beautifully recorded music and awesome acoustic Instrumentation. Review from cdbaby

Enjoyable for the whole family Just sit back, relax and enjoy this timeless heartwarming music! Review from cdbaby

Found Treasure The Cumberland Trio were one of the finest groups to emerge from the 60’s Folk Boom. This album was recorded at the zenith of that boom and its stillbirth (due to the Beatles tsunami) makes it a sort of “Lost City of Atlantis.” To finally have it released is a joy–we all owe the CT a great debt. This is a must-have for any collection. Review from cdbaby

Lost and THANK HEAVENS Found I am a lover of folk music and have been for 50 (!) years. I am so thrilled to have found this group. They have such beautiful, tight harmony and strong individual voices. The instrumental work is prodigious…especially the banjo. I love the Beatles, but their arrival was a disaster for lovers of folk music. Thank you, CD Baby, for giving us back the Cumberland Trio. Review From cdbaby

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! Review from cdbaby

“Just close your eyes..” Just hit “play” on your remote, close your eyes, and within only a few seconds you’re transported back to that special time when clean cut young men with their guitars and banjos hovered around a single microphone and sang tight three part harmonies with vibrant energy. If you remember that time or want to experience it, this Cumberland Trio album is a “must have”. Especially noteworthy are Tom Kilpatrick’s soaring tenor voice and Jim Shuptrine’s sharp, staccato banjo…

Great listening! This CD brought back old memories. On Labor Day week-end we listened to it from Murfreesboro TN to Atlanta GA. It’s a great CD. I will buy more for gifts. Review from cdbaby
