A sad loss to Folk blues and old time music lovers. An excellent portrait is available on the DVD Desperate Man Blues: Discovering the Roots of American Music https://www.amazon.com/Desperate-Man-Blues-Discovering-American/dp/B000JMK6IU/ref=sr_1_2 And a survey of his collection of recordings on the CD Down In The Basement: Joe Bussard's Treasure Trove of Vintage 78s 1926-1937 with 72-page booklet. I think the 72 pp booklet is op, but the recordings are available. https://www.amazon.com/Down-Basement-Bussards-Treasure-1926-1937/dp/B00009MGQU/ref=sr_1_1?crid=90X3LK3B0N87&keywords=joe+bussard&qid=1665280777&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIyLjE3IiwicXNhIjoiMS4yNSIsInFzcCI6IjAuOTIifQ%3D%3D&s=movies-tv&sprefix=joe+bussard%2Cmovies-tv%2C211&sr=1-1-catcorr A survey of the FONOTONE catalog (famous for it's recordings of John Fahey as Blind Joe Death and other names) was released by Revenant. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15959-your-past-comes-back-to-haunt-you-the-fonotone-years-19581965/ https://www.thewire.co.uk/audio/tracks/listen-to-joe-bussard_an-oral-history-of-fonotone-records RIP.
