The Rounder Records Story - new release from Rounder. For forty years, ROUNDER
RECORDS has been on a singular mission to record the magnificent range of
American roots music styles-- bluegrass, New Orleans R&B, old time fiddling,
singer-songwriter, blues, country, rockabilly, roots rock, Cajun and a few
that cross enough boundaries to be genres of their own. The 87 songs selected
for this 4 CD set show the true breadth of the label's catalogue, from the old
time folk music of Ola Belle Reed to the Grammy® sweeping triumph of Robert
Plant and Alison Krauss. The discs are arranged by decade, and it is
fascinating to hear both the underlying consistencies and the ongoing
evolution of the label's vision, while the list of musicians includes many of
the defining names in roots music. Includes extensive notes by Washington Post
journalist Geoff Himes. Highly recommended.
