Various artists
hot platter! BLACK BANJO SONGSTERS OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA
It's generally understood that the quintessentially American instrument---the banjo---was brought to the new world by slaves in colonial times; but this unusual collection of field recordings is a real eye-opener. It's banjo music from rural African-Americans; some tunes well-known and others unique to the Black banjo repertoire. With in-depth notes by Cece Conway, author of "African Banjo Echoes in Appalachia," the definitive book on this neglected topic.
