Very little black string band music was ever recorded, despite there being recordings of, observers at the time noted a flouring black string bands up until about the 1940s, where they became increasingly uncommon. Anyone who wants to read more about it should read Charles Wolfe, “Rural Black String Band Music” Seems like a shame to me that four songs at the end appear to be unknown. Anyone recognize them? |
