Review of Joe Bussard, Record Hunter

For anyone that?s every combed through old record bins this wonderful feature will resonate. Joe Bussard is the consummate collector and producer Justin Levy captures Joe?s passion and diverse taste in great roots music. The feature includes both extensive clips of entertaining stories from Bussard and rare recordings of greats like the Carter Family and John Fahey. The only drawback to the piece is that at 19:31, some stations may find it difficult to schedule as the piece may be a bit too long for many magazines but not long enough for a thirty minute slot. It?s an entertaining feature that leaves you wanting both more music and more stories from Bussard.

Review of Joe Bussard, Record Hunter

Wonderful piece. God bless Joe Bussard.
Although I would have guessed that the name is Cajun & pronounced Bew-Sard, rather than "Buzzard".
