Hi, Wesley-
I just downloaded four terrific Pink Anderson albums from emusic.com. You can also download them at Amazon. The three-disc set from Fantasy Records is especially good, and includes most of the songs that are on the Folkways album (but you may want to download the Folkways notes for free from from Smithsonian Global Sound).

This is wonderful music. It surprises me that it's not available on CD (Fantasy may have done better to fill one CD completely, rather than to have three CD that are half-full). Still, it's nice to have the recordings available by download. I have an annual subscription at emusic.com, so I get recordings for about 20 cents a song. No album notes except for the Folkways albums, but it's a wonderful thing.

-Joe-

It sure would be nice to find a Pink Anderson CD readily available. So where does someone find his CD's for sale?

There's a fine album (now out on CD) that has Reverend Gary Davis on one side, and Pink Anderson on the other.. Pink Anderson goes back to traveling medicine show days.

Pink Floyd got their name from two of their favorite musicians: the aforementioned, and Floyd Council.

Good job! I see the site has a link to Roy Book Binder, so I assume you've checked to see if he has anything to add. (But for Mr. B Binder, there'd be a lot fewer of us that had ever heard of Mr. Anderson.)

It's not everyday i get the chance to tell a name-dropping story that presents me in a flattering light ; so I must tell you that Spider John Koerner once said I played just like Pink Anderson. Who I'd never heard of at the time.

I thought maybe this was gonna be a thread about Roger Waters joining Jethro Tull...

I must say that I haven't heard the name of Pink Anderson even mentioned in 25 or 30 years. Thanks.

All the best,
Dan

looked around and couldn't find coherent info on Pink Anderson's recordings - So I tried to change that sad situation and built a Pink Anderson discography
Hope I didn't miss out too much !
