Thread Name: Folk Music from Wisconsin
Subject: RE: Folklore: Folk Music from Wisconsin
Please note the link Snuffy gave above, Wisconsin Folksong Collection, 1937-1946 - there's some really significant stuff there. Some years ago, Rounder issued a CD of a Library of Congress recording of Wisconsin songs. It was issued as an LP in 1960, as as a CD in 2001. The recordings were collected in the 1940s by Helene Stratman-Thomas and others. Here's the track listing:
