Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $8.98 Although they retired in 1951 there were two comebacks. A 1964 concert and this 1976 album. This shows they aged like fine wine. Country/bluegrass does not get much better than this.

 | Go Long Mule by Uncle Dave Macon
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $55.72 Commercial country music may well have started here. A 50 year old whose mule transport company had been overtaken by the truck. So what else to do? Be the first "Old Opry" star.
