Possum Trot School Exhibition by Ernest Stoneman And The Blue Ridge Corn Shuckers is a delightful album that showcases the best of old-time Appalachian music. The album features a collection of traditional songs that are performed with great skill and passion by the talented musicians.

Ernest Stoneman's vocals are particularly impressive, as he effortlessly delivers each song with a rich, soulful tone that perfectly captures the spirit of the music. The Blue Ridge Corn Shuckers also shine on this album, providing expert accompaniment on a wide range of instruments, including banjo, fiddle, and guitar.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Wreck Of The Old 97", a classic ballad that tells the tragic story of a train crash. Stoneman's emotive vocals are perfectly complemented by the mournful fiddle and banjo, creating a haunting and unforgettable listening experience.

Another highlight of the album is "Sally Goodin", a lively instrumental that showcases the band's impressive musical chops. The fast-paced banjo and fiddle playing is sure to get toes tapping and heads nodding.
