A 2CD set of Okeh's 1929 Richmond sessions is now available. Full details may be had at the record company site: Click Here An excellent review from Musical Traditions: Click Here And a review from Washington Post: Click Here --Stewie. |

There are field recordings available online. -Joe Offer- I made a dumb mistake on the link, but now I've got it working right |

It's real scratchy and primaitive, but what wasn't in the 20's. I'll tell ya what. Them folks were playing a strange blend of gospel, blues and mountain music. Richmond is still full of old timey musicians. I lived there for 20 years and hope when I retire in a couple of years to move back there. Great town and great musicans. Not too may bluesmen but, hey... Thanks for the post... Bobert |

Spent four years at Randolph-Macon, right outside of Richmond and have fond memories of the city and the music I managed to find. Looks like a 'must have' set to me. |

Some of the folkies who performed there have a yearly concert called "Among Friends" They have recorded these concerts for the last few years on 2 cd sets. I have the first and it is great. Sure wish they'd bring the coffehouse back. 75 cents admission fee(if you had it) made for great a sat. night out when I was in college. James |

You can hear it at the Fresh Air website, choosing July 18th (todays show if your prompt in reading this, or search the archives if it's past date) and then clicking where it says "Rock historian Ed Ward tells us about the Richmond Sessions music recorded in Richmond, Virginia in the 1920s, just as recording was getting off the ground." (The second click is a javascript link that won't make a reliable blue click.) A must-have album! --Charlie Baum |
