Something different for you guys from Mr. Dante Carfagna.  He put together a collection of rare old American roots music.  Blues, folk, and country fold in on themselves.  Goddammit Dante. I might have to buy only American roots records for the next three years.  Hope you’re happy.

Dante has a biography that is daunting to tackle.  A record collector’s record collector. One of those guys that must have started when he was like four years old. Probably had like five older brothers who were into everything from Swedish metal and Mbira jams to Glen Gould. Maybe a couple young uncles to make sure he wasn’t missing any essentials.  Since I just made all that shit up, maybe you should just click here.
