I'm still looking for the correct cut of "When the Work's All Done This Fall" released on Gennett in the 20's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bradley Kincaid ~ The Chronological Classics (1929-1930) [2018]

I'm still working on getting one more track for the first volume of this, that is the Gennett recording of When The Work's All Done This Fall. As is the case with all of the Classics I post, I just use the artwork and track list and the tracks themselves are my own restorations from vinyl, shellac, and other CD's. With these I had to split some of the track listing of these volumes up so that they'd fit on a single CD, resulting in a fifth volume being added to fit his entire discography. I've worked pretty hard on these the past year. Please enjoy.

Braadley Kincaid ~ Mountain Ballads and Old Time Songs, Album Number Twelve (1988)

Thanks to Jess Norrick. Half of the first track was missing for some reason on this cassette copy, so I edited it together with the first half of another rip of this cassette I had that suffered from way too much noise reduction. I added simulated tape noise to the background of the first half to match up the levels with the second half. Anyway, enjoy.

Thank you to Jess Norrick. Track 7 on the cassette was apparently sourced from vinyl, so I just replaced it with the my restored track from the Old Homestead Records compilation of The Girls of the Golden West.

A huge thank you goes to Jess Norrick for providing me with rips of cassette volumes 8-13 for me to restore myself. I have been looking for these for years so I cannot express my gratitude enough. She also provided me with rips of some other rare albums I will be restoring and posting over the next couple of weeks. The quality of these cassettes (for the most part) turned out better than I expected. I threw together this cover art but also included scans of the cassette inserts when possible.

Although it claims it's in stereo on the cover, it's actually electronically reprocessed stereo. I re-channeled it to the original mono.

Bradley Kincaid ~ The Kentucky Mountain Boy (1973)

Please note: Track 8 has a skip in it due to a pressing defect. I have two copies of this, both in mint condition, and the needle got stuck on both in the exact same spot. They did this on all the equipment I have. I trimmed out the "thump" noise, but the skip is still noticeable.

Bradley Kincaid ~ Mountain Ballads and Old Time Songs, Album Number Seven (1987)

The remaining volumes (8-13) were released only as cassette. Thank you to all who sent me the MP3 rips floating around of the cassettes with the exception of volume 10. I really enjoyed listening to them, but the noise reduction done on them butchered the already very poor sound quality. If anyone has ANY of these cassettes and a USB tape deck and can send me a high quality, untouched transfer or would be willing to name a price to part with them, PLEASE contact me at glenne3@yahoo.com !

EDIT: Digital copies of cassettes have been acquired and posted. (5/24/21)
