Old Time Country Music Collection (CMH CMH 9010) is a studio album from Grandpa Jones, the Niagara Falls-born banjoist, vocalist, and Grand Ole Opry institution whose performances of minstrel-inflected and old-time material sustained a career spanning six decades, joined here by Joe Maphis, Ramona Jones, and additional Nashville-area instrumentalists in an ensemble presentation of traditional country material. Jones plays banjo and sings; Ramona Jones plays fiddle and sings; Joe Maphis plays guitar; Doyle Dykes plays guitar; Weldon Myrick plays steel guitar; and Billy Linneman contributes additional instrumental work. CMH Records, the Los Angeles independent label that documented multiple veteran performers during the 1970s and 1980s, provided the context for this multi-artist presentation of old-time and traditional country material that the assembled performers had spent their careers preserving.
