Tracy Schwartz joined Mike Seeger and John Cohen in the New Lost City Ramblers after Tom Paley left the group in 1963. The new chemistry between these fine musicians produced seven Folkways albums between 1963 and 1973. Intended as a companion to The Early Years (SF 40036), the 27 tracks on this 72-minute anthology reflect the remarkable breadth of this trio's repertoire and underscore their richly deserved place in the folk song revival movement. "A one-stop tour of America’s old-time musical traditions, performed with skill, perfection, and humor." –Sing Out!
