Nobody has mentioned Doc Watson who is great at anything he does. He does updates of most of the best Southern Appalachian ballads recorded in the 20's and 30's by Buell Kazee, Grayson and Whitter, Walter Williams, Kelly Harrell, Green Bailey, Charlie Poole and such characters. This material has a very different sound from Scottish ballads but has a charm of its own and Doc Watson is one of God's great gifts to traditional music fans. If you want to dig out the originals or rereleases of these singers you often get to hear earlier versions of songs that Lomax and Warner collected from their "original sources."
