Nerd DTStudy: The Little Brown Bulls (17) RE: DTStudy: The Little Brown Bulls 07 Jan 09


To gently correct Artful Codger, that's a Library of Congress (not Smithsonian) CD Anglo-American Ballads, Vol. 1, also known as Rounder CD 1511.

To give some background on some of Masato's finds, Warde and Pat Ford were brothers, and Robert Walker was their uncle, their mother's brother. They both learned the song from him. All three were from Wisconsin, but Warde and Pat later went to Northern California to work on the Shasta Dam. Sidney Robertson Cowell recorded them both in Wisconsin and in California.

Although most of these are not available for online listening, you can see the catalog cards for all the versions in AFC's disc-era collections, here.
