dusttodigital:

Alan Lomax’s dream of a “global jukebox” comes true with 17,000 music tracks being made available for free streaming.

Folklorist’s Global Jukebox Goes Digital. Oh hell yes.

Dust-to-Digital: “Goodbye” to Obscurity – PURGE. Good interview with the Dust-to-Digital folks.

Neil Young was on Weekend Edition saying that Bob Dylan gave him a copy [of Goodbye, Babylon]. That actually freaked me out more than the Grammys. I almost fell on the floor.

The Journeymen – Stackolee. Great song, I love their version.

Okay-ish profile, but I like this bit in particular:

In “Sadie,” a ballad with a distinct Appalachian flavor, Newsom sings lines that could speak for thousands of musicians who’ve drawn on the deep well of American folk music: “This is an old song/These are old blues/This is not my tune/But it’s mine to use.”
