in my mind, and i think it's the general consensus, is that the golden age for this music begins in 1926 or 1927 when electrical recording became the standard. a few exceptions to the rule are the 1922 recordings by Eck Robertson and some of John Carson's earliest records. Also of course tons of great jazz from this era.

It's for this sorry - http://centuriesofsound.com"> http://centuriesofsound.com - don't want to be spamming it too much, but just realised what I'm saying makes no sense without the context. So yes, I was quite excited by everything in 1917 but there seems to have been a leveling off since then, I just got done with 1920 and a few blues songs aside it's not progressing much, I can see all this great stuff coming up from '25 or' 26 onwards, but feel like I have to be missing something in the meantime. There is some of this music going back really far, I'm putting some Polk Miller in my 1909 mix, shame he was such a terrible racist.

The Kentucky Mountain Music series is so unbelievably good.
