Reissue of 2010 album. Luck in the Valley was the third album in a set of recordings that Rose jokingly refers to as his "Ditch Trilogy". Rose continued his exploration of pre-war American music with a set featuring the Twigs, Jones, Harmonica Dan and Hans Chew along with a handful of solo pieces. This recording set out to capture the energy and feel of the classic three-track shack recordings by the Wray Brothers and Mordicai Jones. Luck In The Valley was written and recorded over a period of nine months off the road, an unusually long time for Rose to be at home and woodshedding. The album found Rose employing new themes and techniques that haven't appeared on previous releases. Like all pre-war recordings and all of Rose's releases, this album was recorded live. It was not created using overdubs but rather by recording a few "takes" and selecting the best performance out of those.
