A Treasury of Library of Congress Field Recordings (Rounder)

I enjoyed listening to all of the recordings listed above, but the Library of Congress set was a true ear opener, since much of the music was new to me. A few highlights: "Northfield", a recording of a Sacred Harp group that sounds like it must have opened up the Heavens; "East Texas Rag", a beautiful slide guitar piece by Smith Casey; "Another Man Done Gone", by Vera Hall, a wonderful singer; "Creek Lullaby", sung by Margaret, a young Creek girl, sounding like a voice from Heaven; and several performances by fiddlers who are virtuosos of the spirit.

The Curtis Amy is a splendid late (1994) date which seems to have been unnoticed

when it was released. If people are waiting to get the Curtis Amy Mosaic Select

set, they should go ahead and hear this one! Curis Amy was in top form!
