Don't have it, haven't heard it, but a selection that screams "Roots of the Vanguard Catalog" rather than any real roots of folk music. And since Cisco died in 1961, I guess those other dates are suspect as well. Release date rather than recording date, and with the way Vangurard released and released, who knows what they may actually be.

We welcome any suggestions, contributions, or questions. You send it, we'll consider using it. Help us spread the word. And the music. And thanks for visiting.
