"Frank and Anne Warner made a number of recordings over a forty-year period of time and donated them to the Library of Congress in 1972. Now, thanks to Appleseed, these recordings have been made easily available for scholars, lovers of old-time music, and the curious. The Warner Collection, Vol. II concentrates on the music of singer, guitarist, and banjo player Frank Proffitt. His recordings represent almost half of the selections here. Proffitt had a deep love for music and played hundreds of songs for the Warners, with whom he developed a close friendship (they would save 250 of Proffitt's letters). Today, Proffitt's name is primarily associated with the famous murder ballad, Tom Dooley." ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr., Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange See full review at AcousticMusic.Com
