''My Dusty Road ''is a 4 CD Box containing 54 tracks and a Book. It is a collection of the newly discovered Stinson master discs. It was released by Rounder Records in 2009. ==Discovering the Stinson Masters== According to the album liner notes by Ed Cray and Bill Nowlin, the master discs were housed in the basement of the Brooklyn apartment of Lucia Sutera. In June 2003, Boston music manager Micheal Creamer was informed by Jim Farrow that he had made contact with Mrs. Sutera, who had inherited a collection of recording masters from her friend Irene Harris. Irene Harris died of a heart attack in 1999; she was the wife of Robert Harris, the son of the founder of Stinson records, Herbert Harris. Harris had founded Stinson records in 1939 and during the 1940s, he had been in partnership with Moses Asch, the founder of Folkways Records in New York City. During World War Two, Stinson had helped Asch to procure shellac, the raw material for manufacturing 78 rpm records which was in short supply due to war-time restrictions.〔Encyclopedia of Recorded Sound, Band 1, edited by Frank Hoffman, 2004, ISBN 0-203-48427-4〕〔''Lead Belly: The Smithsonian Folkways Collection'', Jeff Place, p.49, 2015〕 Ultimately, the recordings of artists like Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly and The Almanac Singers where released under three different labels: Asch, Stinson and Disc. When Moses Asch went bankrupt in 1947 with the Disc label some of the master discs fell to Harris as part of the bankruptcy settlement. In the years later Asch released the recordings of his artists under the Label Folkways. He also reissued several of the older recordings on his new label. But he could not use the Master discs which were released here for the first time. 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「My Dusty Road」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
