Pure Down Home Raw: 1950s Country Singin' & Pickin' - Luke Simmons

'Pure', 'Down Home' and 'Raw' are three words that aptly describe the driving rhythms and no-holds-barred sounds of fiddle and steel packed into the 30 tracks on Pure Down Home Raw from the Canadian country artist, Luke Simmons.

Combining influences of Hank Williams, Jimmy Rodgers and the country and rockabilly greats of his day in the early 1950s, this is without doubt as pure, raw and down home as you can get!

Many of the tracks are on CD for the first time, previously just available on scarce 78s and heard only by the most ardent of collectors now all beautifully remastered.
