Death and Taxes

“The names were changed to protect the guilty.”

“New Lost City Ramblers Mike Seeger, John Cohen, Tom Paley– They never made the big time like the Kingston Trio, but they never did wear striped shirts. One of the things the New Lost City Ramblers did was uncover great old songs. Songs that you could only find those days in piles of 78s in somebody’s barn. They breathe new life into those songs and their records stand the test of time, just like the originals.”

“One of the darkest, saddest songs ever recorded....Kind of a jaunty organ for such a sad song.”

“Jazz meets R and B meets jump blues and you hear the beginnings of rock and roll.”
