Roger McGuinn's folk corpus. I found these poking around Gutenberg today.→[More:]I only downloaded one, since I'm on dialup at home today, but it's a decent version of John Henry. For some reason it wouldn't load in my iTunes (Os X.2.8, iTunes 4), but it played fine in VLC.
I went to Gutenberg for Melville etexts to go with the excellent (!) biography by Andrew Delbanco that I'm reading, but for some reason they don't have a copy of the ambigious one, Pierre. Boo. I'm off to the used bookstore.

On the banks of the Ohio is a bit too chipper.

Are you familiar with the work he posts on The Folk Den? Some idiot posted it to MetaFilter a long time ago.

He's got a home page here and a blog too. I'm not sure if this list is dupes or not, but I've been listening to them on and off for a while. I requested Shady Grove back when he was taking requests for his monthly MP3 post but never saw it done by him anyplace free online.
