The sheltered sounds of traditional American roots music have gratefully been amplified by Rounder’s passion for sharing the good news. This was their business of music…The story of Rounder Records has been well and fully told in this fine book revealing a mission of the heart. — Alison Krauss, Rounder Records artist Featuring a forward by Robert Plant, Oh Didn't They Ramble is available at your favorite independent bookstore.
