@DaveInDenver The work Alan Lomax did can never be overstated. The concept of “American music” essentially owes all praise to Lomax.

Here’s my favorite Sam Chatmon video:

Hard to say.

Sure, yes of course Alan (and to give full credit his father, John, as well) Lomax.

But Ralph Peer and his remote recordings. For my money he's the guy.

Hat tip to Don Law, Art Satherley and especially Ernie Oertle. Everyone knows why them.

Not to forget Richard Jones and Clarence Williams at OKeh.

And George Hay and his WSM Barn Dance.

It's impossible to read, listen, watch or digest it all.
