I am surprised that no one has mentioned Sarah Grey, or did I miss it. She may not reside in the USA any longer. She was in Scotland the last contact I had, though she was originally from this side of the pond.

A couple of local ballad singers, from Stone County Arkansas, are Sheryl Irvine, of Timbo who learned many of her ballads from her mother Georgia, and Deborraha Carbone who learned many ballads from Almedia Riddle.
