Richard Thompson at Bluegrass Today provided some more details about the re-issue from Larry:

"The Acoustic label, [a] small independent label that just never got it together, released a small pressing and was never promoted properly. [As] the years went by it was laying around in Chicago.

One day a couple years ago [I] thought I would check it out. Found out it was going to be sold to the first buyer that would take it. So, me having my own label, I bought my own master, keeping it out of the wrong hands and going through another few years with nothing done with the recording. If it was released, I would probably never receive any royalty from it.

So I own it now. I wanted to make this CD available to my fans if they wanted it. This needed to be released. I felt it was a good performance and should be out on CD.

When I recorded this project we agreed to do just an album with older traditional songs. I didn't want to put a lot of time in new material for this label not knowing how it would be promoted.

[Nevertheless], these were good songs I thought for the album, not really over recorded by anyone else."
