Hot and Proper Travis Pickin' Bargain!:

A rollicking good buy, this comprehensive 50 track 2 CD collection of Merle Travis recordings spans the years 1943-1952, at a bargain price to boot! The first cut, one of several tasty rarities, 'You'll Be Lonesome Too', was recorded by Merle and 'Grandpa Jones' as the 'Sheppard Brothers' for King records (King 500) in 1943. Another sweet rarity follows, 'Will The Circle Be Unbroken' (King 530), which was recorded by Travis, Jones, and The Delmore Brothers as the 'Browns Ferry Four' in February of 1946.... more info
