--Mike Tribby . The original Ramblers (or NLCR), Mike Seeger, John Cohen, and Tom Paley (Tracy Schwarz replaced Paley in 1963), formed in New York City, an unlikely birthplace for a band that would bring old-fashioned acoustic, southern-roots music to commercial prominence. NLCR members have been particularly committed to authenticity in their presentation of music forms of the past and have garnered recognition for their work as preservationists and advocates for traditional musicians which has expanded over time. This richly referenced, thorough study is a natural for popular-music collections, whether public or academic. From Booklist Allen’s group
Highlighting the role of tradition in the social upheaval of mid-century America, Gone to the Country draws on extensive interviews and personal correspondence with band members and digs deep into the Ramblers' rich trove of recordings.. Allen details their struggle to establish themselves amid critical debates about traditionalism brought on by their brand of folk revivalism. Gone to the Country chronicles the life and music of the New Lost City Ramblers, a trio of city-bred musicians who helped pioneer the resurgence of southern roots music during the folk revival of the late 1950s and 1960s. He explores how the Ramblers ascribed notions of cultural authenticity to certain musical practices and performers and how the trio served as a link between southern folk music and northern urban audiences who had little previous exposure to rural roots styles. Formed in 1958 by Mike Seeger, John Cohen, and Tom Paley, the Ramblers introduced the regional styles of southern ballads, blues, string bands, and bluegrass to northerners yearning for a sound and an experience not found in mainstream music. Ray Allen interweaves biography, history, and music criticism to follow the band from its New York roots to their involvement with the commercial folk music boom
