phantom:
thought I would share some ragtime guitar labums
there were a few of these on kicking mule in the 70's
- absolute gems
anybody else got any of these?


V.A. "Contemporary Ragtime Guitar" [KM107 - circa 1974]

This was the seventh LPs released by Kicking Mule Records in the early 1970s. It's surprising success helped define the company as a label that specialized in guitar soloists.

V.A. "Flat Pickin Guitar Festival" [SNKF124 - circa 1976]

If you think that two LPs' worth of flatpicking sounds like a pretty monotonous prospect, no one would blame you, but in this case, you'd be mistaken. The 23 tracks that make up this single-CD reissue vary wildly in terms of style and execution, from straightforward bluegrass like Dick Fegy's renditions of "Big Sandy River" and "Fire Hose Reel" to Eric Thompson's adaptation of two Irish reels and Richard Lieberson's jazzy "Paddy on the Swingpipe." Doc Watson is well represented with three tracks ("Fisher's Hornpipe/Devil's Dream," "Down Yonder," and "Liza/Lady Be Good"), and David Bromberg kicks in an atypically subdued version of "The Kitchen Girl." Most of the other guitarists are relative unknowns; although Dan Crary ("Fishing Creek Blues/Arkansas Traveller") will be well-known to bluegrass fans, only hardcore guitarheads are likely to recognize names like Michael Aumen, Barry Solomon, and Eric Thompson. Regardless, all of them play beautifully, and the stylistic variety of the program makes it a great listen from beginning to end. Highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson, All Music Guide

As I have lost my single album from this great album set, you made my day by posting it. Great! At least some of those albums were accompanied by guitar-tab-booklets.
Although the Flatpicking album sticks more to traditional elements than recent picking, it is nonetheless terrific: titles well-chosen, various styles. Give it a try!
