Etta Baker

One of the last pickers who was around when the music was first being recorded, Baker's 83 years of practice is manifested in these wonderful recordings of traditional folk ballads.

Etta Baker With Taj Mahal

by
Etta Baker
There really isn't much Taj Mahal on this album, but that's OK, since Etta Baker is a national treasure all on her own.

Arguably the last ...

by
Etta Baker
Guitarist/vocalist Etta Baker hadn't made any recordings or even been in a studio since 1956 before making the 20 numbers comprising this CD.

North Carolina Banjo Collection
(1998)

by
Various Artists
An outstanding primer and introduction to a set of regional styles that give credence to the banjo as a virtuoso instrument. Much of the music on these two discs comes from field recordings made with the aid of local players who are semi-professional musicians at best, but that consideration does not affect the overall quality of the performances. ...
