"Radio Radio" Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour - Vol 2 - disc 1

Four discs 77, 75, 79, 78 minutes each approximately. The sound overall is surprisingly good, with only a few tracks sounding a bit distant-usually a relatively obscure track recorded under less than ideal conditions...
...This is volume 2 of music from Dylan's "Theme Time Radio Hour". No, Dylan's commentaries are not heard. But whats left is a treasure trove of American roots music-all kinds of music-pop, blues, country, r&b, rockabilly, and some early r&r. This volume has a number of tracks from the 20's and 30's, which help give added depth, with the remaining tracks from the 40's and 50's. Artists range from the well known (Sister Rosetta Sharp, Lightnin' Hopkins, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Hank Williams, Charlie Parker, Anita O'Day etc.), to a number of lesser known artists (Lonnie The Cat, Fatso Bently, Fiddlin' John Carson and Moonshine Kate,The Four Interns, Roy Hogsed, The Youngsters, and so on), all who contribute some fine music. With so much music, will everyone like all the tunes? No, but all are worth a listen, and most people who appreciate roots type music will find much to like here. For anyone interested in good / great music from a number of eras long since gone,this is well worth purchasing. The simplicity, the earnestness, and the refreshing approach to music from times long past by so many artists, in many of the major genres of American music, stand in stark contrast to modern music making. This music will take you back to a simpler age in this country, and will work its way into your brain, and that's a good thing. (AMAZON)
