Field Recorders Collective CD - Balfa Bros. & N. Abshire NYC 1970
Just received notice of a newly released CD of this 1970 NYC Concert as part of the FRC's 2008 offerings. There's a link to the track list, which includes some "talk" tracks, and to a sound clip (Pine Grove Blues) at Link #1 above.

These are the people who last year put out the 1972 Morningstar lp of Dennis McGee and Sady Courville and the Brandywine Festival recordings of Balfa Brothers with Allie Young (1977) and Robert Jardell (1983)
I've heard the FRC concert with Nathan and the Balfas described as "electrifying!"
