Old Man Below by The Dust Busters with John Cohen
Standing squarely in the
lineage of The New Lost City Ramblers, the Dust Busters' reverence for
old-time music runs deep while their interpretations bring fresh meaning
and a sense that their music is as contemporary as any other. Dust
Busters' mentor and Ramblers' elder John Cohen joins on this solidly
grounded album.
See The Dust Busters with John Cohen in concert
on September 6 at the Jalopy Theatre in Brooklyn, New York, and as part
of the Woody Guthrie tribute concert with Arlo Guthrie, Billy Bragg,
Steve Earle, and more on September 22 at Brooklyn College.

Smithsonian Folkways Trivia!
Each month we'll ask a
trivia question; e-mail your answer, name, and address with the
subject "August Trivia" to SmithsonianFolkways_at_si_dot_edu by August
30, and a randomly selected entrant with the correct answer will win a
free CD of his or her choice!
August Question: What borderland murder ballad, recorded
instrumentally by Los Texmaniacs on Texas Towns & Tex-Mex Sounds,
has also been covered by The Grateful Dead and became a university fight
song?
Congratulations to last
month's winner, Barbara from Greenville, South Carlolina, who correctly answered "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los
Gatos)" to the question: "Which of Woody Guthrie's most
best-known songs, written about a tragic 1948 plane crash and recorded by
Judy Collins, The Byrds, Joan Baez, Dolly Parton, Sweet Honey In The
Rock, and Los Super Seven among many others, was never recorded by
Guthrie himself?"
