(2-CD set) Here is a collection of music of the Medicine Shows from 1926-1937. Before motion pictures...before radio...before television...the traveling medicine shows brought entertainment to America. Flamboyant pitch doctors roamed the land, hawking their tonics, elixirs, and miracle cures, and with them came singers, dancers, comedians, banjo pickers, blues shouters, jug blowers, string ticklers, and minstrel men. Here are classic performances by show veterans Pink Anderson, Daddy Stovepipe, Shorty Godwin, Banjo Joe, and many more. This two-CD set delivers a generous mix of 48 songs, remastered with digital clarity, and a 72-page color booklet detailing the fascinating history of the medicine shows with rare photographs, artifacts, interviews, and a full discography.
