The Highwaymen's first LP, including the single "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore," was recorded for the United Artists label in the early spring of 1960. Between then and the spring of 1964 we did another seven albums. In 1990, EMI Records, the successor to United Artists, produced a compilation of 24 tracks from these original sessions and released them as part of their "Legendary Masters" series on CD.

We feel that this one CD, while certainly just a sampling of our work, is a pretty fair represenation of what we we doing during these years when folk was in the forefront of American popular music.
