Let's see I got the Bristol Sessions recently put out by Bear Records. Love the Johnson Brothers - Message from Carolina, I long to see my mother (ten thousand miles away) is amazing: "Near the banks of a lonely river, ten thousand miles away," have you heard anything more beautiful? Reason being I didn't go into detail is because, honestly, I'm not in to too many artists except for blues singers, Patton, Skip James, Sleepy John Estes, so on. But I know of a bunch of different, great songs from a bunch of artists whose name I can't always name. And that's because I listen to a lot of compilations put out by wonderful companies, dust to digital, yazoo, bear, document, etc if those ring any bells. I like the song "Police and High Sheriff come ridin down" by Ollis Martin (his only side). Basically, I got started on, of course, the Harry Smith Anthology and have basically just continued to listen to similar music. As for location I'm from West Virginia. Right now I'm on a ship in the Navy and will return to Newport News, VA. Before I left I wasn't into it like I am now, so I didn't seek too many people out in WVa.
