Subject: RE: FRANK HAMILTON'S NEW CD!
Frank,

The Riverside catalogue is now owned by Fantasy Records who have reissued some material from it, sometimes whole albums, sometimes in compilations. A Sonny Terry album (with Alec Seward playing guitar) from 1953 was just reissued in the past couple of weeks. One of Odetta's Riverside albums, "Odetta and the Blues," is available as a Riverside CD.

In 1996, they released a series of compilations called "The Riverside Folklore Series." Volume 3 was called "Singing the New Traditions" and includes three tracks from the Billy Faier album you mentioned. Two of them, "Green Corn" and "Three Jolly Rogues" are with you on guitar and vocals.
