VARIOUS – THE BRISTOL SESSIONS 1927-28 – WE SHALL ALL BE REUNITED – BEAR FAMILY CD

• ‘We Shall All Be Reunited’ showcases on a mid-price single-CD 26 memorable and varied recordings from the late 1920s Bristol sessions by a range of Appalachian musicians.
• The recordings were painstakingly remastered in 2020 by sound engineer Marcus Heumann.
• The album features an evocative 44-page insert booklet designed by Bear Family art director Mychael Gerstenberger.
• New liner notes written by Ted Olson in which the 1927 sessions are reassessed based on recent scholarly research and discussion.
• The liner notes explore “the rest of the story”- the related cultural occurrences all-too-often ignored or marginalized.
• This CD continues the series of Bear Family’s mid-priced releases exploring East Tennessee’s influential 1920s-era location recording sessions.
• Follow-up album to the Independent Music Award-winning 2019 single-CD ‘Tell It To Me: Revisiting The Johnson City Sessions, 1928-1929’ ( (BCD17591).
