Appalachian Breakdown is a reissue of the Everest Records release called Traditional Music of Southern Appalachia, which in turn was put out by Tradition Records under the title Instrumental Music of the Southern Appalachians. All three collections contain the same 20 tracks, although the sequence order varies. The tracks originate from a field trip to Virginia and North Carolina by Liam Clancy (of the Clancy Brothers), folk singer Paul Clayton, and Diane Hamilton in the summer of 1956, where they recorded several mountain instrumentalists, most notably Piedmont guitarist Etta Baker and multi-instrumentalist (fiddle, banjo, guitar, piano) Hobart Smith. These are delightful recordings, no matter which version you choose to investigate. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
