The Delmore Brothers had always been ahead of their time, musically speaking, and hold a major position in the history of American music. They left a quantity of original works with hundreds of compositions taken on by hundreds of artists such as Doc Watson, Doug Sahm, Bob Dylan, B.B. King, Lonnie Johnson and the Everly Brothers. Their influence on country music from the thirties to the fifties was tremendous and they also greatly contributed to the forming of bluegrass and rockabilly. This boxed edition pays them tribute by covering their long career.
