This is a 4xCD compilation set which was a companion release to Ken Burns' four-part PBS TV series of the same name. The show, which provided an overview of the development of 'American Roots' music over the years, intersperses talking head commentary and old/new clips of performances and archive film. Musically it covers quite a wide range of music from country, old-time, blues, ragtime, folk, cajun, zydeco, gospel, tejano and native american styles.

The 4xCD set includes Ralph and the CMB's with a rather perfunctory live version of Little Maggie recorded at the 'Museum Of Appalachia's Tennessee Fall Homecoming' festival in Norris, Tennessee on 12th Oct. 2000. Part of the performance was also featured in the PBS series and associated DVD/Video release, along with three short 'talking head' snippets by Ralph.

In addition to the 4xCD set, there was also a single CD of highlights, the aforementioned 2xDVD / 4xVHS set and a book.

Thanks to Todd Gracyk for the heads up on this one!
