Subject: RE: Arkansas Field Recordings on web
I recorded Max Hunter singing songs from his collection back in the early 1960s. The record is out of print now, but we still offer the recording as a "custom casette" with the original booklet that went with the LP (containing notes written by Mary Celeste Parler and Vance Randolph). Max then gave me directions to the homes of several of his favorite singers, among them William Harrison Burnett, Ally Long Parker, etc. Burnett may be heard on my <1>Ballads and Songs of Tradition (CD-1005) -- the new collection of field recordings from the Folk-Legacy Archives. CLICK HERE then click on "custom" and look around.
