Special Programming: Folk Rarities (Monday, March 19)
This set from 5:30-6:30 PM consisted of folk music from the archives. These highly sought-after releases stem from private pressings, compilations issued by labels such as EFFICIENT SPACE and Numero Group, and compressed files.
Though many of the artists faded into obscurity during their time, due to countless blogs and independent online media, they are currently experiencing an unexpected renaissance in their works. This selection consisted of personal favorites, private pressings now accessible thanks to the Internet, new reissues, and more. Hope you enjoyed it!
