Description: Various Artists More Hootenanny Artist: Various Artists Title: More Hootenanny Release Year: ? Pressing Year: ? Label: Diplomat Records Catalog Number: DS 2310 Run-Out Etching: SSSSS-DS-2301A P17 Format: 33 RPM • 12” Album • Stereo UPC: none I haven’t been able to find out much about this LP other than that Diplomat Records was a U.S. label founded in the early 1960s as a budget label under the Synthetic Plastics Company banner. Discogs.com has no date available nor does AllMusic.com. This is a guess, but I think this record was released in the early ‘60s to jump on the folk-revival boom started by the Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul & Mary. There was a show on television called “Hootenanny” which premiered in April 1963, so I’m guessing that this album was released before that. Had it been released during the TV show’s run, there would have been some copyright trouble for sure, and I’m not finding any record of any. Anyhow, lovers of folk music — indeed, obscure folk music — will find much to like in this compilation. None of the artists seem to have left much of a legacy but the music is strong and just waiting for a modern update.
