"This warm 1959 concert recording of guitar picker, songwriter and entertainer Merle Travis demonstrates, as well as any recording can, how he successfully earned a strong following in both folk and country music circles. This night's performance catches him in top form, performing folksongs "John Henry", guitar showcases "Cannonball Rag" and his own classics "Sixteen Tons" and "Dark As A Dungeon".
