 Although one may hear a good deal of "blaggardy" material in the field, it is difficult to bring it to disc and we are deeply grateful to the artists for recording the material found here, much of which is at odds with their present moral tenets. 

The late Jim Garland was originally from Bell County, Kentucky where he was blacklisted for union activities. He spent the 'thirties in New York City where he engaged in folksong activity with his sisters Sarah Gunning and Molly Jackson. During the war he moved to Washougal, Washington. Jim had a great fund of unusual folklore, and composed the popular I Don't Want Your Millions, Mister and Death of Harry Simms from personal experience. He wrote a fascinating autobiography which will be published by the University of Kentucky Press. 

Buford Pippin was an elderly retired miner from Delight, Kentucky and a good singer of old ballads. Wash Nelson was in his nineties and from the Ashland area. Both have passed away since these recordings were made. 

Julius Sorel is a rancher in his fifties from Leupp, Arizona and a great storehouse of laconic cowboy wit. Glenn Ohrlin,, originally from Minnesota, now runs his cattle in Mountain View, Arkansas. Author of The Hellhound Train and several lp records, Glenn is a frequent performer at folkfestivals. Smokey Rodgers has enjoyed a long career in country music, having worked as a vocalist for Spade Cooley, Tex Williams and many bands of his own. He now lives on a ranch in Victorville, California.
