I notice that in the above postings that no-one has acknowledged the important role of John Cohen in bringing Rosco to the attention of the outside world. It was John who first recorded and filmed Rosco and for that he deserves a huge round of applause.

By the way, in describing Rosco you cannot seriously use the word 'cool'. The way 'cool' is used today is just another way of saying 'that's OK' or 'OK', Holcomb was raw and impassioned, never ever OK. Even when the term 'cool' was first commonly used among US musicians it would never have been used in decribing Rosco or his music.
