Bob Coltman (born November 17, 1937, New Rochelle, New York, United States) is an American singer of traditional songs, songwriter, guitarist and banjoist, and author. Coltman is the author of the detailed scholarly biography, ''Paul Clayton and the Folksong Revival'' and ''Across the Chasm: How the Depression Changed Country Music,'' Old Time Music 23 (Winter 1976- 1977). He became a performer in his early teens, playing 5-string banjo, guitar and other instruments. In 1954 and 1955 he traveled in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky, meeting traditional singers and collecting songs. In 1959 Bob traveled in the US west, southwest, and Mexico with skier-climber-singer Bill Briggs, influencing a number of singers who would take part in the folk song revival of the 1960s. While in Baltimore in 1962, Coltman accompanied country, blues and jazz singer Joe Bussard. A vivid account of one of their record-finding trips appears in Marshall Wyatt, “A Visit with Joseph E. Bussard, Jr." Old-Time Herald. He recorded 78 rpm solo and group singles under his own name and a variety of pseudonyms (Danville Dan, Georgia Jokers, Bald Knob Chicken Snatchers, etc.) for Bussard’s Fonotone Records label. From these masters were later made two LP albums and portions of a CD compilation. ==Discography== * Jolly Joe and His Jug Band 〔("Jolly Joe and His Jug Band”- Piedmont Records Discography, Stefan Wirz )〕 * The West Maryland Highballers 〔(Biograph Records Discography, Stefan Wirz )〕 * Lonesome Robin 〔((Minstrel Records JD200, 1973) )〕 * Before They Close The Minstrel Show 〔((Minstrel Records JD202, 1975) )〕 * Son of Child 〔((Minstrel Records JD205, 1976) )〕 * Fox Hollow Folk Festival LP compilation, You Got Magic (Biograph 1975) * Art Is the Handmaid of Human Good, RRRecords * The Lowell Plan, RRRecords 〔()〕 * Dust-to-Digital 2005, Fonotone Records (2005)〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/fonotone-records-1956-1969-mw0000264409〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bob Coltman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
