Oddly enough, the past couple of years have been very good ones for folks who are interested in American Trad Music. People like Dan Milner and Deb Cowan are carrying on the late, lamented Margaret MacArthur's investigation of the Helen H. Hartness collection of New England material; Judy Cook has been touring singing a lot or traditional American stuff; Pam Goddard and Sheila Kay Adams have released some marvelous CDs of traditional American material, Guy Davis and Cephas & Wiggins have released new traditional blues CDs...and that's just a few off the top of my head.
