    Jimmie Rodgers
    and
    The Carter Family
    (A.P., Maybelle and Sara)
    ,
    along with long neglected groups whose sprightly names alone evoke foot stomping and tub thumping:
    Gid Tanner & the Skillet Lickers,
    The Happy Hayseeds
    ,
    Ernest Stoneman & his Blue Ridge Corn Shuckers
    , and
    Al Hopkins and his Buckle Busters

    All the colorful groups are lovingly drawn by the inimitable underground cartoonist and are printed on a heavy stock and packaged in a nifty full-color box, also designed by Crumb. These are back in print for the first time in over twenty years.
