Period music sung by Tom Roush

Nice. Definitely now on my list. That's not to say it's done with period-correct instrumentation or playing style -- it's not -- but the singing holds true, carries the heart of the times.

I recall one guy from 2nd South Carolina String Band telling me that all-period instrumentation just can't always carry* with modern-attuned ears, especially in outdoor venue. They tried that standard some years back but are no longer religious to it. The heart of the songs matters more.

* btw with few exceptions all modern "acoustic" performers are electronically amplified, if that breaks any bubbles.
