Long Time To Be Gone
by Nora Brown
supported by 6 fans who also own “How Can I Keep from Crying?”
I have listened to bluegrass and old-timey style banjo music for many years. Nora Brown has the most poetic interpretation of these styles that I have heard so far. She is the John Fahey of banjo (but also with striking vocals).

Music from Saharan WhatsApp
by Various Artists
supported by 6 fans who also own “How Can I Keep from Crying?”
Been loving this stuff since “Music From Saharan Cellphones” dropped. More obscure greatness! Kinda wish it had those notes found with “…Cellphones” releases tho.
