The Edge Of AmericanaTunes From A Different Commonwealth

Josh here, freshly home from a month spent in Berea, Kentucky.  I had my head buried in the archives of Berea College, just full-geek-ahead on Kentucky old timey music and culture. 

Heaven.

There'll be a lot more substantive results in the future. But for tonight, here's a heap of Kentucky music.

PODCAST HERE

Enjoy!
