I listened to some more of Stefan Grossman's Blues podcasts. Really interesting , especially the cross references. In the one about Bucca White he bitches about Led Zeppelin and their uncredited cover of White's 'Shake'm Down' as 'Hats Off To Roy Harper' which he considers also as a bad cover. He plays both tracks and one can only agree. There is a purity in these old 30's blues recordings, which makes some covers sound like caricatures.

Completely agreed,
Seen that a lot of the tracks are public domain it takes time to find good quality remasters with good booklets. I am just listening to the excelent boxset of the 6 Cd Anthology Of American Folk Music (Folk ways) and Dust To Digital has released an interesting 5Cd set of the early John Fahey recordings.
