A wonderful slice of mid-century Americana, this Colortone Records release (C33-4915) showcases guitarist George Barnes and his Quartet delivering spirited country jazz interpretations of beloved folk and traditional tunes. Tracks include Old Black Joe , Arkansas Traveler , Turkey in the Straw , Pop Goes the Weasel , My Old Kentucky Home , and more — twelve tracks in all of swinging, finger-picking delight.

Pressed on the Colortone "Finest High Fidelity" label out of Harrison, NJ, this budget-label gem originally retailed for just $1.49. The cover retains vibrant color with minimal shelf wear, and the vinyl plays cleanly with excellent groove presence. A charming and collectible find for fans of vintage guitar recordings, Americana, and mid-century pop ephemera.
