Thomas Stern Obit: Joe Bussard (1936-2022) (8) RE: Obit: Joe Bussard (1936-2022) 08 Oct 22


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.

A survey of the FONOTONE catalog (famous for it's recordings of
John Fahey as Blind Joe Death and other names) was released by
