What I am Listening To: Alan Lomax Archive

The Alan Lomax Archive has been made available online for listening. It has been cleaned up and sounds awesome. You can hear "Poor Lazarus" as heard in "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" on the Mississippi Prison Recordings amongst other great chants to pass the slave work day. Vera Hall singing "Stagolee". Big Bill Broozy singing blues in Paris. Music from around the world. Or if you can't decide what to listen to, just listen to the playlist. But you must hear "Old Joe Clark" from the 1966 Newport Folk Festival
