Ray & Glover have two superb "recent" albums, "Ashes in My Whiskey"
from a couple of years ago and the very recent "Picture Has Faded."
These guys are the real thing. If "Blues, Rags, and Hollers" is
in that cache, you have a treasure that I have sought for years.
(My original copy disappered decades ago.)

Spider John just had a retrospective done on his "Runnin' Jumpin'
Standin' Still" classic, and I think also has a new album. (Not
sure about this -- I'm not as crazy about him as I am about Snaker.)
