Still can't directly post a you tube clip. Help needed.
Thanks, Marshall.
Marhall, when you go to Youtube and find a video, look to the right is a box with the urls in it. select the one that says URL by hitting Control C then paste it into your reply by hitting Control V.
YouTube - Mark Knopfler & Chet Atkins - Walk of Life
Life is too short to be taken Cirrus.
Huh! I normally have a horizontally condensed screen, so can't see that box. Instead, I clicked on the 'SHARE' tab directly underneath the video and copy/pasted the exposed link.........

Thank you Mike.
Here's one for bfish.
YouTube - I'm Lookin' for a Man (that'll outfish me)
Pretty good, but I've learned to avoid the ones that are "looking for", "in search of", or otherwise "seeking". They've already got some unrealistic perfect man in mind, and that ain't me.
The fish gods have been appeased now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Like recordings, artists, etc you consider really exceptional.

I picked up a Vanguard lp nearly 40 years ago - Roosevelt Charles: Blues, Prayer, Work and Trouble Songs.
This track is not on it and I would appreciate any information on other albums by him.

Cheers, Marshall.
It appears that was his only album, which was recorded while he was incarcerated at Louisiana's infamous state prison at Angola. He had at least one cut on the compilation Angola Prisoners’ Blues, and perhaps was featured on other similar anthologies. Considering the bloody reputation and the repressive history of Angola, it's not too likely he made it out alive. Talk about some inspiration for the blues...
I'd like to hear that one.

Found a bit more. Your album was recorded by folklorist Frederick Oster, who also recorded "Angola Prison Worksongs" for his Folklyric Records in 1959, now re-released on Arhoolie Records. RC is featured on 2 cuts.
Many of Leadbelly's 1930s Lomax recordings (Library of Congress) were made during his stint at Angola.

I've listened to those Lomax recordings. The ones that I had acess to, back in those days, were on some type of small acetate disc. The recordings were so raw and original you could hear all of the background noise and the incidental recording gear interference. None the less, absolutely brilliant.
