Return of Two Trios - The County Line Trio & The Cumberland Trio

There are a lot of us guys (girls too) who were in folk-singing groups while in college in the sixties, or later after college. Two of them have recently issued CDs which we're pleased to be able to offer you.

THE COUNTY LINE TRIO - GOING HOME
The County Line Trio was formed in 1969 and have been going ever since. For three guys who aren't Nick, Bob & Dave (or John), they sound a lot (and even look a lot) like them. Take a listen.

THE CUMBERLAND TRIO
Not to be confused with John Stewart's Cumberland Three (although it's easy to do), the Cumberland Trio has a legitimate claim to the name, coming from Tennessee and having lived on Cumberland Road. They achieved a degree of fame that most of us didn't, having appeared on the ABC-TV HOOTENANNY show and having had an album produced by Chet Atkins. The album was to have been released by RCA, but never was, and the 14 songs that were recorded for that album in 1964 are included on this CD along with nine others recorded in live performances and recording sessions in 1963. You're likely to enjoy them all.
