The website linked below is loaded with MP3's of songs sung during services at Blessed Hope Old Regular Baptist Church, in Liberty, KY. They are recorded during the service so would classified as field recordings, I think. These are current and recent recordings so provide an example, when compared to earlier field recordings, of how the singing in these congregations may be changing over time.

Bear in mind, however, that an Old Regular Baptist Church that countenances these recordings and posting them to the web, is likely to be more modernized than some other current Old Regular and United Baptist congregations, and their hymn singing most likely reflects that also.

The value of this site may rest more with the way it iluminates the 'folk process', as songs and ways of singing them change over time.


Joe, a clone, or WYSIWYG, if this link needs moved to an already existing thread that archives links of this sort, it is fine with me to move it and delete this thread.
