That Sounds of the South box set that reissued a bunch of the Alan Lomax field recordings that were released as lps at Atlantic has some examples. Y'know, schoolchildren doing the shuck and jive and stuff. You sort of really want to BE THERE though, you know? Watching these kids skip rope and stuff. It loses something in the translation.

What are you referring to? "Patting Juba" (soon a movie with Queen Latifah and Jennifer Anniston as lesbian lovers?)

Or the Bo Diddley beat, or the song by Shuggie's dad?
