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.
Enjoy!
