I picked this up thinking it was going to be 20s and 30s old timey etc and it turns out to be 40s to 70s. Still pretty great. Lots of country and blues picking and frailing.
I grabbed a pile of stuff from a local 2nd hand shop. Would have been more if I'd had more dosh a couple of days earlier.

This was from the same place and I think purchase. Good sounding set of acoustic blues stuff. With Frank Stokes on the cover. I got a Document set by him a couple of days earlier.

compilation of various musics from North Africa from desert blues to more traditional Mande Sounds and had a free cd by Mamane Barka that I've yet to listen to.

Sublime record by Malian guitarist and international band including Taj Mahal on acoustic guitar. Mix of his Malian blues and possibly more traditional stuff. Pretty great anyway, I think I missed another couple of his that had been there when I first looked.
All of this traditional stuff apparently came from one person's collection.

Hungarian folk played by an official ensemble so not sure how authentic and gritty. ~Gets pretty noisy when woodwind drone instruments are in play.&I do find it pretty cool.

Compilation of 2 cajun records from the time of the revival. I need to listen to this more but am enjoying what I've heard.
Need to go back to the shop to see if they've still got any of the things I didn't grab last week

Uncut covermount sampler of the Can Bootleg series. Aston sounds interesting from this track

Japanese psych prog band from the early 70s. Remind me of the Doors musically along with Pink Floyd, King Crimson and a few others.
Found this had fallen down somewhere after not being able to find it recently. But pretty good listen.

Isshoku Sokuhatsu [Yonin-Bayashi] was the last title there. Hadn't realised it didn't have a name showing.
