At Home

Uncle Dave At Home is a CD project funded by the Tennessee Arts Commission with the hope of introducing a whole new audience and perhaps a whole new generation to the music of Uncle Dave Macon. The CD features Uncle Dave Macon at his most relaxed and authentic, sitting before his own fireplace on a warm spring Sunday afternoon in Kittrell, Tennessee, halfway between Murfreesboro and Woodbury. The recordings in this CD are informal, amateur recordings made on a portable tape recorder. They were made circa May 1950, a little over a year before Uncle Dave's death. Improvements were made during the transfer from tape to CD. Digital mastering was performed at the Center for Popular Music at Middle Tennessee State University.
