Michael Licht Project Coordinator American Folkiife Center Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540 1986 INTRODUCTION The Library of Congress first drew public atten- tion to interesting commercial recordings of tradi- tional American music in 1939, when of the Archive of American Folk-Song (today's Ar- chive of Folk Culture) published a list of commer- cially produced 78-rpm records. The annotated list was prepared "in order that the interested musician or student of American society may explore this unknown body of Americana with readiness." The same goal underlies the American Folklife Center's publication of this third annual list of quality records and audio tapes of traditional American folk music and folklore. The list is not comprehensive, but is intended to provide a short, usable guide to important audio resources for educators, librarians, and all those who enjoy America's grassroots music and spoken arts. A panel of distinguished experts selected the thirty recordings listed here from among two hun- dred titles submitted by producers, suggested by folklorists and ethnomusicologists, and proposed by Center staff. In keeping with guidelines established three years ago, we required that all entries:

be released in 1985;

feature cultural traditions found within the United States;

emphasize "root traditions" over popular adapta- tions of traditional materials;

be conveniently available to American purchasers;

and be well annotated with liner notes or accom- panying booklets relating the recordings to the per- formers, their communities, genres, styles, or other pertinent information.

The American Folklife Center hopes that publica- tion of this list will stimulate an increase in the number of new, high-quality documentary folk recordings, leading ultimately to increased support and encouragement for those performers who preserve our country's folk heritage. The en- thusiasm with which the first two editions of this publication were received, and the marked increase in the number and quality of the recordings submit- ted, leads us to believe that these aims are being served. The annotated entries below are followed by in- formation about sources for these and other folk records and tapes, as well as other publications which list and review traditional music recordings. Library of Congress catalog card numbers are in- cluded for the convenience of librarians and should not be used when ordering recordings. We hope that future editions of this list will include more recordings of folktales and other traditional spoken arts, a wider range of America's ethnic and regional traditions, and more records and tapes of American folk music issued abroad and distributed in the United States. To suggest suitable 1986 releases for consideration by next year's panel, or to obtain ad- ditional copies of this publication, please write to: Annual Recordings List, American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540.
