Best of the Down Home “Awesome Out of Print Records” series vol. 1
Hello everybody- well for the past couple months pretty much all I’ve been doing here is digitizing and posting up old out of print LPs from my collection, for what has been known as Down Home Radio’s “Awesome Out of Print Records” series. I’m gonna be doing that in fits and starts from here on out, but I think I’m gonna call this first round complete and start back producing regular episodes of Down Home Radio. I’ve got a lot of good interviews waiting to come out!
On this show I have put together a play list of a bunch of my favorite tracks drawn from all the records I’ve posted up. It was hard to choose which tracks to play, because there are so many great ones on these albums! This show serves as a sampler, and you can go back and download all the records and listen to them in their entirety!

You wouldn’t happen to have either the String Band Project or Banjo Project that were put out by Electra years ago?

I do have access to those records. Keep on me about it, write back in a couple weeks, and in the next round of record digitization I will put it out. Thanks for asking, those are great records!
