Directed by Stewart Copeland, this 2010 documentary tells the story of 70-year-old buckdancing legend Thomas Maupin, who remains one of the greatest old-time dancers in America.
Framed between Thomas' recovery from cancer and his acceptance of a nationally-recognized award, this piece presents a deeply personal look at a folk icon.

Contents and Packaging (Four Disc Box Set with a 96 Page Book).Visit product page →
Compiled by Lance Ledbetter and Art Rosenbaum,Art of Field Recording Volume II is a four disc set with a 96 page book that contains essays and annotations by Art and over 100 illustrations and photographs by Art and his wife Margo. Art took a similar approach to Harry Smith in assembling the music: the discs are divided into Accompanied Songs and Ballads, Unaccompanied Songs and Ballads, Sacred, and a Survey disc that has a little bit of everything.Blog Critics: Art Of Field Recording Volume ll is an amazing collection of music and people that can't help but make you feel better about the world. There are fewer and fewer people today who play music because of what the song means to them in terms of their family's history or the people who taught it to them. To have the opportunity to experience listening to that type of music is a rare treat and one that might not be available to us for that much longer..
Pitchfork: ¦Rosenbaum's work will make you yearn for childhood lullabies, for'? precious as it sounds'? the songs that you keep in your heart.

Compiled by Rob Millis and Jeffery Taylor
Recordings made between 1920s-50s featuring Burmese guitars, Chinese Opera, Persian folk songs, Fado, Hillbilly, Jazz, Blues and much, much more.Aquarius Records: ¦the bulk of this handsome book is made up of gorgeous archival images, 78 labels, old record tins, posters, pamphlets, old greyed photographs, mailing labels, instruction booklets, all sort of Victrola ephemera. It would be well worth it just as an art book. Makes you dread the oncoming MP3 takeover, what will future generations discover of our music, old busted hard drives? None of these cool old sleeves, decaying from years of moisture and insects, gorgeous little visual artifacts offering clues as to the music contained inside¦ So absolutely recommended.
Village Voice: Victrola Favorites features a bewildering array of exotica, religious chanting and barroom bawls from an equally bewildering array of countries '? India, USA, bamboo flutes in Korea, Chinese Buddhist monks chanting in Hong Kong circa 1915, Thailand, bamboo xylophones from Japan circa 1910, Zulus, Persia¦ We're talking about field recordings and beyond from the dawn of recorded music, pretty much. And yes, it totally is the s**t¦ you get a sensation of what the original recordings sounded like¦

Directed by Ed Gillan, Desperate Man Blues tells the story of self-proclaimed king of record collectors Joseph E. Bussard, Jr. of Frederick Maryland. Joe has amassed probably the greatest collection of 78 rpm recordings of country, blues, jazz, cajun and gospel music in the world. He has spent most of of his waking hours in pursuit of old 78s. To call it a hobby would be an insult: It's his life.
Check out the DVD Desperate Man Blues. Joe's an eccentric record collector who's preserved all sorts of magical corners of music ' although he says things like 'There are no good jazz records made after 1927.' '? Elvis Costello
It's nice to have a DVD of this great documentary on Joe Bussard, plus another featurette, King of All Record Collectors, and other bonus stuff. Bussard is a stone gas, grooving around his basement amidst one of the finest collections of pre-war 78s ever assembled. A few nice archival shots of Fahey, too. And the stories are hilarious.

For most of his life, collector Jim Linderman has searched high and low for authentic things'?unique and special objects that define the artistic culture of the American experience. From folk art to popular culture, from pulp fiction to Delta Blues'? Jim is a walking authority on so many things American they are too numerous to mention.
One thing is certain'? his collecting interests are for things that have fallen through the cracks, those things lost and forgotten'?the box of material under the table at the flea market booth. If it wasn't for dedicated collectors like Jim Linderman'? so many important objects about our culture would have surely been lost to time and indifference.Take Me to the Water: Immersion Baptism in Vintage Music and Photography 1890-1950 is Linderman's first book. The 96-page hardcover book (8.75 x 6 inches) has 75 sepia photograph reproductions from 1890-1950 and is accompanied by a CD of rare gospel and folk recordings from original 78-RPM records (1924-1940).
It features recordings of artists like Washington Phillips, Carter Family, Tennessee Mountaineers, and lesser known and rare groups like the Belmont Silvertone Jubilee Singers, a vocal quartet in 1939.
Included as well are rare vocal recordings of sermons and preaching which highlight the fervor leading up to the moment of cleansing one's soul in immersion baptism. '? John Foster, Accidental Mysteries -

Keeping a Record of It is the follow-up to Lonnie Holley's debut album, Just Before Music.
Guest performers include Cole Alexander from the Black Lips, Bradford Cox from Deerhunter, and visual artist Lillian Blades.
Lonnie Holley sings with an intense, emotional voice and unleashes lyrics without consistent meter or rhyme over gossamer keyboard lines that hang in the ether. His music is a blues nebula, splotched with riffy word jazz that shares in some rappers' collagist aesthetics as well as the runaway passion of a gospel preacher enlivened by the Spirit.

A collection of spiritual and gospel songs performed in informal non-church settings between 1965-1973. Most are guitar-accompanied and performed by active or former blues artists.
Most records of black religious music contain some form of gospel singing or congregational singing recorded at a church service. This album, though, tries to present a broader range of performance styles and contexts with the hope of showing the important role that religious music plays in the Southern black communities and in the daily lives of individuals.

Compiled by Chris Menist, Qat, Coffee & Qambus: Raw 45s from Yemen features vintage oud and vocal music inspired by the qat-chewing, coffee-sipping, qambus-playing culture of Yemen.
Although part of the classical Arabic musical tradition, the music of Yemen takes its rhythmic lead as much from the East African coast (a mere 20 miles across the Red Sea) as the surrounding Arab Peninsula.Little has been written about the music and culture of one of the world's oldest civilizations, and each 45rpm disc gives a small glimpse of the poetic tradition, the unique local oud styles as well as an insight into people's day-to-day lives, or the highs and lows of human relationships.
Overall, the compilation gives a flavor of the sights and sounds of Yemen, with detailed notes that tell the story of the hunt for music that has mostly lain forgotten in the antique markets of the capital, until now. -

Fans of Sun Ra, take notice ' there is a new American original on the scene who hails from Birmingham, Alabama. Lonnie Holley's music is unlike anything we have ever heard, and we feel these recordings are a welcome addition to the continuum of music. This album marks the first time Dust-to-Digital has taken an artist into a recording studio. Lonnie Bradley Holley was born on February 10, 1950 in Birmingham, Alabama, the seventh of twenty-seven children.
From the age of 5, Holley worked various jobs: picking up trash at a drive-in movie theatre, washing dishes, and cooking. He lived in a whiskey house, on the state fairgrounds, and in several foster homes. His early life was chaotic and Holley was never afforded the pleasure of a real childhood. Since 1979, Holley has devoted his life to the practice of improvisational creativity. His art and music, born out of struggle, hardship, but perhaps more importantly, out of furious curiosity and biological necessity, has manifested itself in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and sound.Holley's sculptures are constructed from found materials in the oldest tradition of African American sculpture. Objects, already imbued with cultural and artistic metaphor, are combined into narrative sculptures that commemorate places, people, and events.
Holley did not start making and performing music in a studio nor does his creative process mirror that of the typical musician. His music and lyrics are improvised on the spot and morph and evolve with every event, concert, and recording. In Holley's original art environment, he would construct and deconstruct his visual works, repurposing their elements for new pieces. This often led to the transfer of individual narratives into the new work creating a cumulative composite image that has depth and purpose beyond its original singular meaning. The layers of sound in Holley's music, likewise, are the result of decades of evolving experimentation.
Track listing:
1. Looking for All (All Rendered Truth)
2. Here I Stand Knocking at Your Door
3. Mama's Little Baby
4. The End of the Film Era
5. Fifth Child Burning
6. Earthly Things
7. Planet Earth and Otherwheres
