I've often wondered how much black and white musicians would have mixed prior to the rise of the recording industry and "race records".

There seems to be a lot of cross-over in some old-time music, early country etc. I'm thinking of artists such as Doc Boggs, Jimmy Rodgers, even Hank Williams.

Anyone knowledgeable on this?

(I'll probably buy Escaping the Delta too but just wondering what folks here thought)
