The group's goal was to "reach deep into the grassroots and bring traditional folk music, performed by traditional artists, to the New York City area," according to Richard Rinzler's booklet accompanying a collection of concert recordings. Under its "Old-Time Music" umbrella, rather than the phrase "folk music" then being used heavily by commercial record companies and young singer-songwriters, the group presented a wide range of older black and white traditional and "roots" musicians, including Southern singers, fiddlers, banjo players, guitarists and string bands in styles ranging from unaccompanied and banjo-accompanied ballad-singing to bluegrass and blues artists, some of whom had recorded as early as the 1920s.
