Can anyone supply me with an address where I can obtain recordings of early country music, folk music, traditional music etc?
I would appreciate any help.

John.

Hi -

There's a huge amount of early country and other traditional American folk music available. But you need to narrow in on what you enjoy. You should then do an Internet search through Google with the name of the group(s) that appeal to you.

One good company is Arhoolie -- for the recent holidays I received a CD of the Carter Family on Border Radio, 1939;
quite enjoyable.
