I truly enjoyed the CD. The historical information about the city of Asheville & recording sessions added to my enjoyment of the music. But I really liked the biographical information about the artists. Harrell, Lunsford, Miller, Stoneman, and Ward are well known, the others, not so much. Information on Couch, Harris, Irwin, McFarlane, Smith & Allgood is a valuable addition. Also, the sound quality of acoustic discs can be challenging, for the most part you all did a good job in remastering the 78's. Arkansas Traveler is pretty weak. And, considering Asheville was an important stop on the route where cattle, hogs and turkeys were driven to market in South Carlina and Georgia, I would much rather have heard Hog Divers. But these short comings are minor. Overall, the project is excellent and wonderful addition to the library of old-time music reissues. WELL DONE!!!!!

Great history lesson; a wonderful insight into music 100 years ago.

Very happy with the record

Nice to have such an historic Asheville recording. Sound quality is as good as I could expect given thee source material. The accompanying booklet/notes were interesting, too.

Music from the Land of the Sky: The 1925 Asheville Sessions is an important contribution to the early history recorded country music. It is valuable because it offers a survey of country music of the era, features a number of persons who became renowned for their lasting music contributions, and recognizes Asheville's importance as a recording center. This collection is a must for those interested in the music traditions 100 years ago and in the history of the music's presentation to a welcoming public through OKeh records.

Like all the Big Broadcast collections, this is a superlative sample of period music. I only wish there were more than twelve.

An absolutely stunning recording. I have a pretty good collection of ragtime/boogie woogie/stride pianists, and this is among the best. I’m not sure the drums were necessary but they are no impediment to the entertainment.

Excellent CD. Contains everything I was looking for.

I had never heard of Mel Kaufman until you brought him to my attention on the Shellac Stack. I had never heard of the Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra until I saw one of their CDs on the Rivermont website and bought it. I really liked their arrangements and decided to give this combination a try. I am glad I did. This is really a great CD, and I am happy to own it.

An excellent reconstruction of gloomy atmosphere from another era.

First class recording of interesting rags from different periods-very enjoyable

Composition and performance are fantastic. The quality of the recording and pressing are what I've come to enjoy about Rivermont Records. You do amazing work.

Jazznocracy by Alex Mendham and His Orchestra is a classic album of songs from the 1920’s and 1930’s which I highly recommend. The album came out in 2015 and is not easy to find, but Rivermont Records has it available. For anyone who is a fan of Alex Mendham, this LP is a must have.

For anyone who loves the music of the 1930’s, this cd is a must. The sound quality is outstanding. It is well worth adding to your collection. I am so happy to have found Rivermont Records.

The best modern LP I've ever bought with a great packing and fast shipping arrangement
