The Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group CD

The Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group joined forces with Scottish singer Nancy Whiskey in January 1957 to record Freight Train, a record which went on to become one of Skiffle’s biggest hits, making the UK Top 5 and the US Top 40.
It sold well over a million copies, winning Skiffle a second Gold disc (at that stage, only Lonnie Donegan's Rock Island Line had gone Gold).
Although they only chalked up one other UK chart entry, Green Back Dollar, Chas’s Group laid down a memorable body of recorded work, which has been in demand among collectors over the subsequent decades.
This 31 track collection pulls together everything they recorded between 1956 and 1959, including The Intoxicating Miss Whiskey LP, plus sides recorded with Shirley Douglas following Nancy’s departure.
The seven bonus track rarities include two singles they recorded under a pseudonym, plus a trio of Nancy Whiskey solo cuts.
