Forty legendary and obscure country music pioneers painted by R. Crumb with biographies on the reverse by music historian Richard Nevins. (These are similar to Crumb's Heroes of the Blues and Early Jazz Greats boxed sets.) 

Featured are such well known acts as Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family (A.P., Maybelle and Sara), along with long neglected groups whose sprightly names alone evoke foot stomping and tub thumping: Gid Tanner & the Skillet Lickers, The Happy Hayseeds, Ernest Stoneman & his Blue Ridge Corn Shuckers, and Al Hopkins and his Buckle Busters.

Other featured performers: Andy Palmer of Jimmie Johnson's String Band; Eck Robertson & Family; Da Costa Woltz's Southern Broadcasters; Fiddlin' John Carson & his Virginia Reelers; Earl Johnson and his Dixie Entertainers; Fiddlin' Doc Roberts Trio; Ted Gossett's String Band; Harry "Mac" McClintock; Dr. Humphrey Bate & His Possum Hunters; Uncle Dave Macon and his Fruit Jar Drinkers; Burnett & Rutherford; Mumford Bean and his Itawambians; The Shelor Family; W.
