Bigger than its counterparts at 40 cards, the Pioneers of Country Music set leads with Country/Folk/Bluegrass heavy-hitters Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family. But aside from their musical virtuousity, what names! Gid Tanner and his Skillet Lickers, The Happy Hayseeds, Hoyt Ming and his Pep Steppers, the Buckle Busters, Log Rollers, Tar Heel Rattlers, Fox Chasers and Possum Hunters to name but a few. Richard Nevins’ cardback bios contain fascinating detail about each performer’s place in history. Nevins also goes into some detail about each performer’s recording history, often noting labels and “firsts” for performers. There is lots of fun buried in this treasure of arcane country lore.
Also, while they last, get one very nice promotional merchandising poster with the purchase of 12 card sets. Beautiful printings also designed by Crumb, these are super nice, with varnish over the card set images. We are hearing from accounts that customers are clamoring for these.
