Barefoot Boy With Boots On LP
In this wide-ranging collection of fourteen cuts we see the emerging eclecticism
that gave birth to one of the most versatile and far-reaching talents in modern folk
music. McCutcheon, then in his twenties and already a master of seven different
instruments, showcased his love of the music of the Carter Family, Roscoe Holcomb,
I.D. Stamper, and Jimmy Cooper. He also included newly composed music by such
traditional Southern writers as Jean Ritchie, Florence Reece, Asa Martin, and Kate
Peters Sturgill. Most notably perhaps, this reissue also features the recording
debut of John's hammer dulcimer master, Paul Van Arsdale.
