Description by OLDIES.com:

Washboards Kazoos Banjos: This six-CD set is a full, long overdue anthology of the music and musicians who created Skiffle. From the African American forebears of the 1920s and '30s like The Memphis Jug Band and Lead Belly to the fountainhead of Skiffle in the UK, Ken Colyer, this collection includes anthems like 'Down By The Riverside' and 'Midnight Special'.
