Subject: RE: Ever heard of the Reel World String Band?
The Real World String Band is also featured on Rounder LP #4012 called They'll Never Keep Us Down, Women's Coal Mining Songs (1984). On it they do Battle Of Jericol, What She Aims to be & Deborah's Draglines. Others on the LP are Hazel Dickens, Sarah Gunning, Florence Reece & more. The LP was dedicated to singer/writer Sarah Ogan Gunning, D. 10/14/83. There's not much said on the sleeve notes about the R.W. String Band. Deborah Silverstein also has a great LP out on Flying Fish #FF429 (1987) called Deborah Silverstein: Around The Next Bend, on that is also Draglines. Deborah been in the Boston are since the mid 80's & is presently singing with a group called Taproot. I don't know if Taproot has cut anything but if they have it shoud be a real cracker. Barry
