Last Sessions & Historic Wdevbroadcasts

From the mid-'30s through the '50s, the Vermont airwaves resounded to the live sounds of cowboy bands playing a mixture of traditional fiddle tunes, country and western songs, jazz standards, and pop tunes. The king of these musical cowboys was Waterbury resident and fiddler Don Fields, whose band always sported the hottest players on guitar, banjo, accordion, bass and sometimes steel guitar and drums. Available for the first time, this music on this 28 track CD was produced by musician/educator Mark Greenberg. Half of the tracks are from rare recordings of live WDEV radio shows from the 1940s and the other half from a session with Fields and former Pony Boys Mort (Smokey) and Lois Carey.
