Re: [ARSCLIST] question about remote recordings from the 20-30s

[Steve Weiss <smweiss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Sam,
For starters, I'd suggest the article /Hillbilly Music Source and 
Symbol/ by Archie Green. It is available online at:

http://www.lib.unc.edu/mss/sfc1/hillbilly/HTML/ArchieGreen/greenHome.htm

The Southern Folklife Collection also has oral histories with a number 
of the early A&R men including Ralph Peer.

Best,

Steve Weiss

Specifically, I am interested in how record companies went about making recordings of musicians in southern rural areas in that time period. I heard that companies like Columbia, Victor and Okeh would do remote recordings.
