Alan Lomax was a folklorist who collected audio recordings of american music. Great stuff- old blues, folk, and local stuff lumped together as "Americana". I'm sure there are many repositories duplicating these files, but it would be cool if there was a nostr based, distributed way to ensure their preservation. It probably already exists.

Give this song a listen. Starts out slow, but...

This album remixes a number of Lomax recordings and is pretty good:

I love digging up old recordings that 60s and 70s musicians revived and made popular. It would be a great thread.

Wow... What I'd give to go back and watch live music from that era.

Thanks for sharing
