Product Description

The new 3 CD TRIPLE PLAY COLLECTION Series includes our best-selling titles in a themed collection and individually packaged in mini-album CD wallets with an attractive CD slipcase.

This new TRIPLE PLAY COLLECTION Series contains the “real thing”, recorded by Bluegrass legends, such as Mac Wiseman, Don Reno, Red Smiley, Bill Harrell, Hylo Brown, J.E. Mainer, Jim Eanes, Earl Taylor, Vassar Clements and pioneers Mac Martin, Tater Tate, Buck Ryan, Jim Greer and Raymond Fairchild who have spent their lives staying true to their rural American roots.

The Appalachian region of the United States appears as a great system of hills, valleys and plateaus extending from Maine down to Alabama. The Southern Appalachian Highlands is where all the great Mountain music we know and love comes from.  In this region of Southern Appalachia, (with some of the dense peaks towering up to 6,000 feet), is the back drop for the SMOKY MOUNTAIN BLUEGRASS CLASSICS which contains songs that were passed down by Appalachian homesteaders who lived in almost isolation.
