General

CDR copy Both of these tapes feature an African American stringband (fiddle, banjo and guitar), consisting of Murph Gribble, John Lusk and Albert York of Campaign, Tennessee, who were recorded from 1946 to 1949. The tapes are apparently dubs of original records (not tapes) located in the Library of Congress. For an additional dub of the same stringband, see FW-ASCH-7RR-4916. Some of the selections on FW-ASCH-7RR-4657 also appear on two commercial recordings: Altamont - Black Stringband Music, on Rounder Records and Black Appalachia - Deep River of Song, also on Rounder Records. FW-ASCH-7RR-4658 contains only two tracks, neither of which are on commercial recordings.
