notes

It is the nature of traditional and public domain songs to shift with time. Words, melodies, even titles can change as musicians make these songs their own. This album is a collection of these songs, and each song reflects a distinct artistic personality. But even while the performances carry these songs firmly into the present, the respect each track carries for the past binds this album together. This long-playing disc is a tribute to these songs and the spirit they bring to our musical landscape today.

"Ain’t No Grave is a sparkling collection of sixteen superbly sequenced public domain and traditional tunes by roots and folk bands from around the country," -No Depression, January-February 2004
