SPARKY RUCKER AND FRIENDS

Sparky is a black folk musician from Knoxville, TN, and is one of the best traditional style folk musicians on the professional scene today. He does traditional black music deep in the Afro-American tradition, and has dedicated his professional life to preserving this rich, but ignored and underappreciated cultural heritage from which all modern music in America and much of the world springs. But Sparky is not interested in preserving a precious past, and digging lost Afro-American songs up from the cemetery of folk history for its own sake. His sole concern is the future, and sees his music as deeply committed to a better world. He continues to write new songs and collect and add new songs to his repitoire. [sic] Don't miss one of the best concert performers of folk music ever.
