Thread Name: Great Ballad Recordings
Subject: RE: Great Ballad Recordings
Alex Moore's great rendition of "The Sioux Indians"--Library Of Congress

Anything sung by Emery DeNoyer--a blind singer of songs of the lumber woods of Wisconsin--Library Of Congress. "Little Brown Bulls" for one. He went from camp to camp and the lumberjacks always appreciated his renditions.

Any ballads sung by Canadian O.J.Abbot-- his "By The Hush" and "Plains Of Waterloo" simply stand alone.

from OZ, Jim Cargill'a "Radcliffe Highway"

Also form OZ, Joe Watson doing "The Kelly Gang"

Rebecca Tarwater singing "Barbara Allen"--as collected in Wisconsin by Helene Stratman Thomas

Jess Morris simply amazing "Leaving Cheyenne" with just his voice and fiddle.nson singing ""Texas Rangers" sung by the Cartwright Brothers

"The Last Wagon" sung bu Slim Critchlow

Ewan MacColl and A.L. Lloyd--too many to enumerate

some of G.L. Sparky Hudson's cowboy ballads (Kat's father)

Lyman King doing "The Bullhead Boat"---a private tape he made for me.

Vernon Dalhart's 78 rpm record of "The Hanging Of Charlie Birger"

And this is just for starters: This list would take me a week or two to make.
