     Jug Bands emerged around Lousiville, Kentucky just after 1900 and quickly spread throughout the south. However, it was not until the mid 1920's that a few of these outstanding groups were finally recorded. The instrumentation varied but often led by fiddle, banjo and jug. Other instruments as kazoos, harps, washboards, washtubs, stovepipes, mandolins,horns, as well as guitars were common.     

     Much of their music has lived on in the form of jazz and blues as well as rock and roll into the modern times. The Grateful Dead as well as other Rock Bands made some early classics famous. Additionally, the southern white string bands undoubtedly heard and saw this music and the Jug Band infuence can clearly be heard in both their music and the vocals.

     This CD compilation looks at fifteen of the earliest Jug Bands to record, ranging from the sophisticated exciting early jazz sound of Cliffard Hayes' groups, to the more early country blues of Cannon's Jug Stompers.

Included in this collection are 150 selections from these Jug Bands:
