Album Description
Earning Their White Stripes. "But what I'm listening to most of the time at present is an album called Good For What Ails You, which is an album of songs that people used to listen to at medicine shows all over the States. It's quite an interesting album and I think that people would be well advised to pick it up." Jack White - Sunday Mail (Australia) Dec 18, 2005

About the Artist
Interview / Spotlight on Marshall Wyatt

It's a funny thing. As we embark further on our journey into the new century, we are just now starting to rediscover all the long-forgotten, wonderful things about the 20th. Whether it's bluegrass or early jazz, many music lovers have developed a growing fondness for the musical styles of yesteryear. The result has been a slow but growing interest in older recorded music, music trapped on 78 RPM records, just waiting to be unleashed by modern technology.

Enter Marshall Wyatt. His Old Hat label seeks out obscure vintage tunes and releases them in compilation form on CD, opening up a world unknown to our time - taking us back to the basic roots of popular entertainment that still impact the contemporary world.

So how does Wyatt go about giving this music new life? We ask him about his mission and the love he has for the music of long ago. Mark Hodges - Mish Mash Feb 2002 - mashmusic.tripod.com/oldhat.html
