For over five decades, the Black Brothers - Bobby and Larry - have plied their trade as working musicians in nearly every venue of the entertainment industry. Much of that time was spent on the road and in the "skull orchards." *

It was in these skull orchards that they paid their dues. Little exists to document those sometimes less-than-momentous occasions, but a few recordings of their gigs, such as this one, have survived.

While the recording does not meet today's state-of-the-art recordings, it provides a genuine glimpse back in time to the days of live music in these "skull orchards." It is offered in this 12 song CD, warts and all.

* skull orchard (skul' or' - cherd), n. a musician's term for a bar, honky-tonk or dance hall.

All song samples are in Real Audio® format.
