We are the music makers! : preserving the soul of America's music

"These two discs include a treasure trove of unique, fantastically talented artists performing a remarkable array of styles - blues, spirituals, gospel, old-time string band, up-tempo R&B, jazz, Native American chants - that represent the very fabric of Southern American culture and life. The music is infused with humor and tragedy, truth and quirkiness, and testifies to the fact that the nation's folk tradition is alive and well".
