Quoting Bill McCloskey <mccloskey@gmail.com>:
"As great as Ivan and Orville and the rest are, I doubt I'm going to find them
at B&N even if they have a good bluegrass section. [SNIP] just hearing all the
hard to find CD's that I don't have..."
=> Most of what's been mentioned isn't hard to find at all. You just go to the
County Sales web site, enter the artist's name in the search engine, and get a
list of CDs. This works even if the dobro picker is just a guest artist on
somebody else's album. The CD section of the Elderly Instruments web site is
another good place to look.
I have bought music from County Sales for over 30 years (yes, I started before
they even had CDs) and they've never let me down. And at $13.50 per CD, how can
you go wrong? Less immediate gratification than Barnes and Noble can furnish,
perhaps, but better prices and a much better selection.
Yes, there are a few items you won't find at County or Elderly (like
"Beartracks," or some of Ivan Rosenberg's CDs, but you can find those on the
individual artists' web sites.
If my often-defective memory is right, Junior Barber was on the first four
Gibson Brothers albums. Unfortunately, County and Elderly no longer carry
those. You can get one of them, "Long Forgotten Dream," from the Hay Holler web
site, and I recommend you do it soon, because it probably won't be long before
they're all gone. That one has Junior Barber on it, and it's where I would
start. I think the rest are out of print by now. Junior is Da Man.
