A very interesting and informative thread, I picked up on it from 'The Bob Dylan' one. I've just been listening to a track by David Johansen & the Harry Smiths called 'James Alley Blues' which was included on free CD with the Aug/Sept edition of Froots magazine.Froots no.15. This was played a couple of months ago on 'Saturday night with Charlie Gillett' and he also played 'Le Vieux Soulard' by Cleoma Breaux & Joseph Falkener recorded in 1928 from the anthology of American folk music..excellent stuff.I'll have to look out for more.

I implore people to try and listen to Charlie's show on wen.com. He has arguably the best playlist that I've seen.
