Taylor's Kentucky Boys, with black fiddler Jim Booker, was the only interracial band of its type to record in the 20's and 30's. (Booker's brother John also played guitar on one selection). Their recordings are included in the 7 CD box set "Kentucky Mountain Music" (Yazoo 2200)of classic recordings of the 1920's and 1930''s from both commercial and field recordings.

The LP "Folk Visions & Voices-Traditional Music and Song in Northern Georgia Vol.2" (Ethnic Folkways Records FE 34162-available through Folkways), one of the companion recordings to Art Rosenbaum's book of the same name (1983 U. of Ga. Press) contains two songs each from black banjo player/singer J.C. "Jake" Staggers and black fiddler/guitarist/singer Joe Rakestraw.

An old black banjo player/singer named Abner Jay, who used to make the festival rounds, used to draw a lot of flack because he'd play old minstrel songs and tunes he'd learned in his youth and dared be proud of that heritage. His Folk star rose and fell pretty fast in those Civil Rights Movement days of the late 1960's that also coincided with the rise of the Beatles, as he got labeled a "Tom", but I heard him again years later on one of the Folk Masters At Wolf Trap syndicated radio broadcasts that Nick Spitzer produced. I don't know his recording history.

Hammie Nixon who played and toured with Sleepy John Estes and Mandolinist Yank Rachell off and on for years has a jug band-oriented
CD out called "Tappin' That Thing" (High Water/HMG6509). Rachell guested on a number of songs on each of the John Sebastian "J-Band" projects and any of the recordings of the three of them together tie into the blues and jugband sides of the string band tradition through Rachell's mandolin playing. The three are together on some of the Newport Folk Festival Blues recordings under Estes' name.

In 1963, banjoist/singer Gus Cannon of "Walk Right In" fame recorded a 500-copy-only pressing LP on the famed Memphis soul label Stax accompanied by banjo jug and washboard. "Walk Right In" (Stax702--now SCD 8603-2) has been reissued on CD and contains not only jug material but old songs like "Raise a Ruckus Tonight" "Ain't Gonna Rain No More" and "Crawdad Hole" Cannon in his later years also shares a CD on Adelphi with Furry Lewis and Bukka White.

Snooks Eaglin, a well known electric guitar session man and singer on the New Orleans R&B scene, recorded "Country Boy In New Orleans" on Arhoolie (C-348) when he was working acousticaly as a street singer with the occaisional washboard accompaniment and doing a grab bag street busker's repitoire including things like "Possum Up A 'Simmon Tree", "Bottle Up and Go" and the like that tie back to the eclectic black string band human jukebox traditions, rural and urban, where a man on a street corner or at a country dance had to handle any kind of request in order to increase his take, drinks and tips at the end of the day or night. (Hell, the aforementioned Howard Armstrong talked about how, as a kid, he and his friends learned Italian songs to play to the locals for money).

Hope these help.
