As has been mentioned, Paul Clayton was a prolific recording artist. He even did at least one album on the Tradition label with Jean Ritchie. The Tradition label was, I think, a project of Tom Clancy and his brothers. It was Paul Clayton, together with Diane Hamilton and Liam Clancy who, in 1956, made the field recordings which became Tradition's TLP 1007 LP, "The Instrumental Music of the Southern Appalachians." That was perhaps the seminal album that turned thousands of college students into fingerpicking guitar players. Tracks include "One Dime Blues," "Railroad Bill," "John Henry," and "Bully of the Town" played by Mrs. Etta Baker. Soon versions of those numbers would be heard on every college campus in the US and probably beyond.
