Michael Cooney on Front Hall & Folk Legacy.

Cindy Mangsen.

Many of Pete Seeger's records devoted to specific themes. _American Industrial Ballads", _Champlain Valley Songs_, _America's Favorite Ballads_--for a few---All are on Folkways/Smithsonian

Library of Congress Archive records---_Anthracite Coal Mining Songs_(Geo.Korson), _Bituminous Coal Mining Songs_, etc.

Vivian Richman on Folkways/Smithsonian.

Ellen Steckert on Folkways/Smithsonian.

Sam Hinton on Folkways/Smithsonian, Decca & privately issued.

__Wolf River Songs_ (various traditionally collected lumber camp ballads---on Folkways/Smithsonian)

_Songs Of The Ontario Shanties__(collected by Edith Fowke---on Folkways/Smithsonian)

MANY Paul Clayton recordings on Folkways/Smithsonian and Riverside.

These are just a few of many. Most of the older (wonderful) records are not on CD. Americans, in large numbers, are not into revivalists doing songs from our history at present. Sad, but true.
