Allerton & Alton - Cumberland Ridge Runne

Facts Sometimes people who make music history have no idea they're doing so at the time. Bear Family Records has uncovered just such a case and will proudly be releasing this rare and previously undocumented piece of country music. They are perhaps the first interracial country music duo. Their performances dating from the late 1940s/early 1950s were broadcast over radio station WLAM in Lewiston, Maine and heard throughout the Northeast and parts of southern Ontario, Canada. This release comes lavishly illustrated with vintage photos, full historical notes and as many digitally restored recordings as we can fit on a CD. 27 tracks including: Keep On The Sunny Side, Twelfth Street Rag, Memory Lane, Three Ways Of Knowing.
