In August 2002, Bluebird inaugurated When The Sun Goes Down one of the most important reissue series of the compact disc era. In its first four volumes, When The Sun Goes Down presented roots-music treasures from the archives of the RCA Victor and Bluebird record labels in beautifully remastered sound. These various-artists collections featured artists ranging from the Carter Family and Blind Willie McTell to Lil Green and Little Richard; they in-cluded the original recorded versions of such blues and rock standards as Catfish Blues," Frankie and Johnny," Trouble In Mind," and Statesboro Blues."
