Topic: Inventory for insurance

All of my vinyl was ruined in my recent flood.  I'm going through the collection now listing the inventory for insurance.  Wow.  I had some really good music here.  Everything from Jim Croce to Maynard Ferguson to Johnny Cash to Tico Rondo.  Ray Charles, Harry Belafonte, Yes, Elton John, Herbie Hancock, and the list goes on. 

It'll be sad to say goodbye to all these old friends, but I'll finally be able to pretty much go as crazy as I want on CDBaby, Appalseed and Mailboat Records.  Alt Country and modern folk singer-songwriters, watch out.  I'm coming for you.  Throw in some calypso and a near fatal dose of bossa nova while we're at it. 

Help me to make this chore a happy one and give me your recommendations for replacements.  Top of the list at present are Douglas M Bailey (I think it's M) and Cross Canadian Railroad (or something like that).  As you can see, I'm not entirely up to speed on the indy music scene.

I dont know if you've ever heard of Guy Davis, but his album Legacy is one good album.

Re: Inventory for insurance

Badeye -

I figured you'd be sending me for some Cape Breton style folk music.  I love Celtic and bluegrass, and there's sure enough a close association between those styles and the Cape Breton style music.

Re: Inventory for insurance

Hey Zurf,

  Ever hear of an album called " Hooker "n" Heat" It's John Lee Hooker and Canned Heat, it's rare, but if you ever get your hands on it, get it, nuff said!

Kajima,

  Thanks for the link to Martin Simpson, somehow I have missed ever hearing of this guy. I hung on every note he was playing, he's amazing. How do people get this good! What I wouldn't give to play like him, oh well, thanks for the link.

Hey Zurf if you like Bluegrass/Jamband type stuff you have to check out Mountain Heart they are really good. Larry Sparks is another good one that you might have heard of.
