Thread Name: Lyr Req: Dry Bones (Bascom Lamar Lunsford)
Subject: RE: Req: Dry Bones by Bascom Lamar Lunsford
Check out the superb Smithsonian CD of his work: Bascom Lamar Lunsford - 'Ballads,Banjo Tunes and Sacred Songs of Western North Carolina' Smithsonian/Folkways 40082. It is a mix of his classic 1928 Brunswick recordings and his 1949 Archive of American Folksong contributions -balladry, dance tunes and hymns. It includes 'Dry Bones', but also very lovely performances of 'Swannanoa Tunnel', 'Little Turtle Dove', 'In the Shadow of the Pines' and many others. A gem of an album!
