Jerry - By "old-timey (with a "y") gospel", I guess I meant pre-bluegrass string band music that addresses sacred/spiritual themes. Some of the links that Susan provided referred to this as "country gospel" or "mountain gospel".

BTW, I love black gospel too, but I already have some of that music, and I have an idea of where to look for more. I'm much more ignorant when it comes to country/mountain gospel. Most of what I know comes from contemporary sources like Doc Watson, Bob Dylan, the O Brother soundtrack, etc. I'm aware of the Carters, the Stanleys, and the Louvins, but didn't know where to begin.

Susan - What can I say except "Wow!" The links you provided have me drinking through a firehose. ;) Let me do some MP3/AIFF downloading & listening, then I'll PM you for anything I feel like I'm missing. Thanks!

One other thing - how do I isolate the gospel songs in the Max Hunter collection? I'd like to send a link to other people without making them go through the Mudcat message board.
