Old-Time Songs contains 16 songs Charlie Poole recorded for Columbia Records between 1925 and 1930. This sampling features nearly every one of his best songs -- including the hits "Don't Let Your Deal Go Down Blues" and "Can I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight, Mister" -- and provides the definitive retrospective of Poole, as well as a good glimpse into the style and sound of old timey country music in the first half of the 20th Century. ~ Thom Owens
