"Down the Old Plank Road Volume 3"
Plank Road Folk Music Society is pleased to announce the release of our latest recording in a series that began in 1995. Down the Old Plank Road - Volume 3 is a collection of music performed by current Plank Road members, and is available to the public at over 150 streaming sites, including those listed below. This online album features a variety of folk, country and barn dance tunes, covering 100 years of American music — from traditional to contemporary — performed by a mix of established pros, and a number of our “regulars.
27 years ago a group of Plank Road members recorded Volumes 1 and 2 on cassette tapes, which were reissued last year in digital format. We decided it was time to put together a new set of songs performed by some of today’s current Plank Road members.
Volume 3 features 17 tracks performed by 12 different groups and individuals. Two artists from the original cassette recordings — Mark Dvorak and George Mattson — appear on Volume 3 with brand new songs.
Performers Include the Plank Road String Band, Ashley & Simpson, Comfort Food, Lonesome Eagle, Fiddle Fret n’ Whistle, and Sons of the Prairie, as well as solos by other current members.
Check it out! The music is available for anyone to listen to, free of charge, on most streaming sites. Just go to your favorite site and look for Down the Old Plank Road Volume 3. NOTE: Be sure to enter the full title. Here are some of the more popular sites:
This project is consistent with our organization’s mission statement: To preserve and promote traditional folk music and dance.
