The Tucson Tapes (first set)
From 1960 until 1965 the duo of Bud (Dashiel) and Travis (Edmonson) was one of the top acts on the folk scene, making hundreds of appearances and recording ten LP records. Both had previously performed as solo acts and with other groups, so when the duo broke up it was only natural that each would resume his respective solo career. For Travis, one of those solo appearances was in December of 1966 in Tucson Arizona. The performances were recorded on reel-to-reel tapes, which were given to Travis but were forgotten until recently when Travis found them in an unlabeled box in storage. From out of the past, here was Travis, 1966. His wonderful melodic voice, the audience interaction, the charm and wit for which he was famous, were preserved on these long forgotten tapes of these two marvelous shows - The Tucson Tapes First Set and The Tucson Tapes Second Set.
