At such commemorative times (the Woodstock 40th anniv, Newport Folk Fest's 50th...) some essential milestones to go unnoticed. Last year marked the 50th of folk revivalists TheNew Lost City Ramblers, who introduced American music traditions to new audiences. Mike Seeger & Co were tireless chroniclers of folk, blues, bluegrass and more. A 3CD boxset of core performances & field recordings. Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, Ry Cooder and Jeff Tweedy have all cited the Ramblers as a source of inspiration.
