CDs, Cassettes,
Vinyl, Radio. Documentary Arts has covered quite a
bit of ground with its audio recordings.
We have produced two radio
series as well as a wide range of CDs
and Cassettes by both never-before-recorded musicians
and established masters.
Peruse our Audio
Catalog to learn more about the CDs and Cassettes we have
available from a wide variety of artists, from East
Texas Black Harmonica Players (as shown below) to African
Folktale collections.
Alan Govenar
has recorded hundreds of artists as they've played, sung,
and talked about their work. Much of the best material has
been culled into our audio CD and Cassette releases.
Many of the interviews and recordings of
historically important artists DocArts has recorded can be
heard in our Masters of Traditional
Arts DVD-Rom.
Many of the other extensive interviews have
been made into parts of a larger radio series (more info at
right).
