That indeed is a wonderful CD. It's the way I first heard the NLCR in 1959.
Tracy Schwarz, who joined the group when Tom Paley left, is wonderful. That said, Tom's banjo and guitar was so powerful on those early albums that it's always been hard for me not to miss his presence. His doing of Sam McGee's "Railroad Blues" was never done better anywhere on the revival scenes.

Every track is a highlight! I never realized how much I missed hearing the original Folkways records these guys made.
