Mccamys Melody Sheiks - There's More Pretty Girls Than One [Digipak]

What many people may not know is that R. Crumb is a fanatical collector of 78RPM records, including an amazing selection of early Old-Time music 78s. Fiddler Ian McCamy met R. Crumb in France (where they both now live) and started playing music together, drawing on Crumb's 78 collection for inspiration. On this album they tear into some of their favorites, mostly traditional American fiddle music, some well known, some very obscure. This is heartfelt, joyous music played with respect for the ancient tones found within the grooves of those old 78s.
