 It was also the first recording by the New York folk singer Dave Van Ronk and featured Sam Charters, author of "The Country Blues", his wife Ann, as well as Len Kunstadt, co-owner of the Spivey Records label.Van Ronk would revisit the genre in 1964 with the album "Dave Van Ronk and the Ragtime Jug Stompers", though his ragtime guitar picking and repertoire influenced many subsequent jug bands.Another early recording group was Jolly Joe's Jug Band, led by the record collector Joe Bussard, and released on his own Fonotone label as 78 rpm records.
