While browsing the thread titled "So what is 'TRADITIONAL' Folk Music?" a nickel dropped.

Some of the denizens of this list might be interested in the following recording.
It is the latest release in the "Hammons Legacy" series.

Maggie Hammons Parker, Songs, Sampler #1

However you define "traditional singer" Maggie, of Pocahontas County WV, is the real thing.

At the end of the year a 7 CD set of Maggie vocals will be released. The Sampler contains some of the Hammons Legacy Team's favorites from that set.

FINE PRINT
I am rather intimately associated with the "Hammons Legacy" series, but I do not benefit financially from that involvement.
I recommend the CD because it is damn good.
