Essential Folk Masters (Classic Music International, 2011), which is credited to "Mama Cass & The Big Tree" (sic) on the cover, contains the same eighteen tracks as the Collectables compilation in a different order.

But with a $225,000 budget for Folk Masters, and an additional $100,000 to record the series for broadcast next spring on American Public Radio, Carnegie Hall becomes one of New York's main presenters of traditional music, at least this year.
