Stewie, The sound quality of the Clifford Hayes CD is about what you would expect from the 1920's, maybe a little better than average. It includes Sara Martin & Her Jug Band, Whistler & His Jug Band, Old Southern Jug Band, Clifford's Louisville Jug Band, and the Dixieland Jug Blowers. All except Whistler's included Clifford Hayes and Earl McDonald. My favorite tracks are the four by Whistler. On one song, "Jerry O'Mine", he plays lead on a nose flute.

I have the "Times ain't like they used to be" video. The sound quality is not great (understandably) but there is a sound track. Whistler plays gutar and sings "Folding Bed" accompanied by a banjo and three jug players. The video opens with Jimmie Rodgers singing three songs. The rest of the video includes a variety of mostly rural bands and soloist from the 20's and 30's. Worthwhile for anyone who likes old-time music.
