As I was getting back into listening to folk music a couple of years ago
(after a musical void) "Ring Them Bells" by Joan Baez was the best sampler
I found--it led me to Tish Hinojosa and Dar Williams...and I have all of
the albums.
A recommendation by Mike Regenstreif led me to Herdman-Hills-Mangsen and I
have all of the albums. I bought one and then most.
A sample tape and a few things led me to buying all of Eileen McGann's
discography...it goes on and on.
I also buy samplers that have non-album cuts of the artists that I collect.
Cheers!
Richard
