Nathan Salsburg - Affirmed [CD]

Louisville, Kentucky's Nathan Salsburg is a folklorist, producer, and presenter of vernacular music for East Village Radio, the Drag City imprint Twos & Fews, and the Alan Lomax Archive, among other outlets. With his first solo record as a performer ? entitled Affirmed, after the 1978 winner of horse racing's Triple Crown ? he enters a wholly new interaction with the corpus of American (and British) musical folklore.
