Re: More listening suggestion requests...
not always a ton of mando but Bruce Molsky's CD's are all awesome if you like solo performances. Compton plays some good mando on Contented Must Be, one of Bruce's CD's as well.

Re: Cotton Fields
Definitely some really good stuff on there, I have all four of them from 1936 through the 70's. I won't comment on the price because I didn't pay for them myself but there's pretty much enough stuff to keep you busy for a lifetime. Probably 500 songs between the 4 of them.
