Hello everybody and thank you all for great music posted here in the past. I've decided to join the marathon and to bring everybody the pleasure of Ed MCcurdy's beautiful renderings of 34 of the older American folk songs. They are divided here into 4 parts (sides): "New England", "The South", "O Pioneers!" and, finally, "A Song For Occupations". Highly recommended for all fans of 50's/60's folk music!

ED McCURDY & ERIK DARLING
"A TREASURE CHEST OF AMERICAN FOLK SONG" (Elektra, 1961)

This glorious (and somewhat legendary) two-disc set was released on the old-labelled Elektra in 1961. Sadly, it was never re-issued on CD. Well, these tracks were ripped from vinyls by myself and I've done my best to restore the original sound afterwards. MP3 encoding is @ 256. The bigger cover and the tracklist scan are included in the archive. Enjoy.

PS ...and let's hope the oficial CD version is comin' soon, too. =)

Hi there, Bob.

There is no pass. Just try to open the first part and the second will be joined automatically by WinRar (Windows) or StuffIt Expander (Mac). The method of downloading is just the same in both cases. =)

You will enjoy this one, I promise!

Excellent stuff. I hope you don't mind me plugging this at my blog supported by two sound samples ("In Old Virginny" and "Bury Me Beneath The Willow"). Thanks!

I do not see where I can access/ get the music files. Does this mean there is a cd for sale somewhere?
I ripped the LP's myself but the because of the quality of the LP's the digital version is in a terrible state.

Kind regards,
