The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of (Super Rarities and Unissued Gems of the 1920s and 30s) is an essential, landmark 2-CD compilation released in 2006 by Yazoo Records. Subtitled "The Dead Sea Scrolls of Record Collecting," this collection serves as a holy grail for fans of American primitive music, assembling 46 of the rarest, near-lost pre-war blues, country, and old-time folk performances rescued from the brink of extinction. The compilation functions as an incredible historical auditory journey into America's deep musical roots. It bridges the gap between raw country blues, Appalachian string bands, and traditional folk before they evolved into modern genres like rockabilly and western swing.
