The vocals on the new album by Clothesline Revival are more than half a century old: unprofessional singers recorded in the rural south, by John and Alan Lomax. The music of Clothesline Revival is by multi-instrumentalist Robert Powell and composer Conrad Praetzel Conrad is a former archeologist. His research skills came in handy unearthing material for the band's latest collection, called Long Gone. [transcript]
