First, there are a couple of important notes about the discography of recordings collected by Frances. One recording by Robert Kolan credits John Reedy with playing the harmonica on a track called "Vietnam" and accompaniment on the Side-2 cover of "Somebody Touched Me." There are also covers included on LP's by L.B. Siler and the Round Mountain Boys, Bill Monroe (erroneously crediting him as composer), Bluegrass Meditations, and Roy Acuff. The discography also includes a 45 from the mysterious and rare B-Atlas label that we can't find much information about. And perhaps the most interesting thing about this discography is that it is not all Bluegrass music...
If anyone knows the year that any of these recordings were made, please let us know! Also, please contact us if you are interested in getting a Word or Excel version of this table so it can be sorted by label, title, format, location, etc. And soon we'll be posting a really great oral history video with David Lundy, founder/owner of Lundy Recording Studio in Barbourville, Kentucky.
