Man of Constant Sorrow - Vintage Folk Music CD - Perfect for Road Trips, Relaxation & Americana Music Lovers

This was a most pleasant find among the bargain CD's at my local Barnes and Noble. A joint project of budget label St. Clair and Celtic/world label Shanachie, it brings together an impressive stable of musicians from the worlds of folk, country, Celtic and New Age. Indeed, the music (instrumental arrangements of all-traditional tunes) is relatively low-key and respectfully treated, but the performances are perfectly executed - what you would expect from folks like Jay Unger and Molly Mason (of "Ashokan Farewell" fame), John Sebastian, Norman and Nancy Blake, Eric Weissberg, Celtic virtuosi Brian Keane and John Whelan, and others. This is a satisfying and relaxing album, easily worth more than its budget price.
