Why was it not just lucky that this piece achieved its aims?
Friend of Old Time Music features recordings of a series of historic concerts of legendary folk musicians playing in New York City for the first time. The package design pays homage to the original concert posters and highlights the outstanding photographs of the musicians. The collection was selected for "Best of 2006" status by both The New Yorker and The New York Times.
