Made by Alan Lomax over a three day period in 1940, LIBRARY OF CONGRESS RECORDINGS includes many of Woody Guthrie's best-loved songs, coupled with his commentary and observations of America in the 30's.
Throughout the '30s and '40s, folklorist and historian Alan Lomax traveled the country seeking out traditional folk and blues performers. His field recordings brought the world dozens of treasured performers, some of whom never recorded again after his initial visit. One of his most important finds was the Oklahoma newspaper reporter, social activist, and folk balladeer Woody Guthrie.
Lomax's recordings of Guthrie, made over a three-day period in March 1940, are collected in full on the three-disc LIBRARY OF CONGRESS RECORDINGS box set. The sessions were loose, unscripted affairs in the Lomax tradition. Between songs, Guthrie extemporizes on a variety of topics and provides a loose autobiography. But it's the songs, including magnificent performances of originals and standards like the gangster ballad "Pretty Boy Floyd," the topical "Dust Bowl Blues," and the spirited singalong "So Long, It's Been Good to Know Ya," that make this collection indispensable.
Personnel: Woody Guthrie (vocals, guitar, harmonica).
Liner Note Author: Alan Lomax.

Jim Taylor writes:I was born and raised in western North Carolina and have lived here most of my life. My older sisters both played piano, so I grew up playing the thing by ear in the lulls between their practices.Both sides of the family are musical. Mom's parents had a their own ragtime band that played all over the region. Her father was also a singing master in the Shape-note tradition. On Dad's side, his mother had a degree in music from Columbia College, South Carolina. My father has a fine baritone voice, as did his father.I first became interested in traditional music in the early 1980s when a friend let me borrow some Jean Ritchie albums and mountain dulcimer recordings. Soon afterward, I heard the hammered dulcimer and decided to learn to play it. I put together a kit and started learning tunes. I was in school in Texas at the time and had the opportunity to learn from folks like Russell Cook and Dana Hamilton. Others who influenced ...
| | Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis Battle Stations CD (1960)
Library Of Congress Recordings MP3 Album
$9.89 (MP3 Available for Download)
When Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Johnny Griffin joined forces and formed a two-tenor front line, bop enthusiasts could safely assume that the sparks were going to fly. Davis and Griffin, after all, were one of hard bop's exciting tenor teams -- their saxophone battles were as legendary as the encounters of Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt, Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray, or Phil Woods and Gene Quill (who, unlike the other teams mentioned here, were a two-alto pair). Battle Stations, like other Davis/Griffin encounters, points to the fact that the two tenormen never had a problem finding common ground. Both had big tones; both were very extroverted, aggressive players; and both swung unapologetically hard -- no one ever mistook either of them for members of jazz's cool school, which favored subtlety, restraint, and understatement over intensity and aggression. A sense of friendly competition is evident on Battle Stations; when Davis and Griffin lock horns, the result is musical sportsmanship at its finest. And "friendly" is the operative word on this 1960 date -- as competitive as Davis and Griffin could be, they had a great deal of respect for one another. Battle Stations (which employs Norman Simmons on piano, Victor Sproles on bass, and Ben Riley on drums) demonstrates that the saxmen were not only sparring partners, they were also a mutual admiration society, and the improvisers enjoy an incredibly strong rapport on hard-swinging numbers like "Pull My Coat," "Hey Jim!," and "What's Happening." Battle Stations is an album that fans of heated two-tenor exchanges shouldn't overlook. ~ Alex Henderson

| | David Allan Coe Castles In The Sand/Hello In There Plus CD (2005) (Import) Reissue; Germany
Library Of Congress Recordings music CDs
$22.55
Bear Family continues its David Allan Coe reissue program with 1983's Castles in the Sand and Hello in There; both albums were produced by Billy Sherrill. Castles in the Sand is one of Coe's most underrated and consistent. Coming well after his glory -- and scandal -- years in the 1970s, Coe and producer Billy Sherrill integrated their partnership into a seamless whole. Coe wrote a big chunk of the album and his tunes are as solid as the material on 1982's Rough Rider and D A C The standouts include "Son of a Rebel Son," and the utterly haunted title song written as a tribute to Bob Dylan, followed by a funky country read of Dylan's own "Gotta Serve Somebody" with Lacy J. Dalton, who adds a certain depth and wildness to the mix. More than on any of their other collaborations, Sherrill showcases Coe as a fine, understated, interpretive singer. One of the eeriest covers Coe ever cut is of the J.B. Detterline, Jr./Gary Gentry classic "The Ride," about the ghost of Hank Williams making an appearance to offer advice to a young Turk. Coming at the place it does in Coe's career -- on the downside, but certainly not out -- its irony is particularly poignant. "Missin' the Kid" is a self-penned waltz that is sad and hunted, full of regret and remorse over the loss of his daughter when his second marriage broke up, something he never got over. It's also one of the most sensitive things he's ever written, as it is full of empathy for a daughter he hasn't seen in over ten years. Also included here is "I Can't Let You Be a Memory," an early original by Warren Haynes, the Allman Brothers and Gov't Mule guitarist ...
