Ned Sublette collection of New Mexico Country Western and Hispanic folk music, 1977.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/503006262

The Ned Sublette collection consists of eight reel to reel tapes which have been reformatted to eight CDs. He taped three reels of cowboy country western folk dance music in Portales, New Mexico in August 1977 at the home of William Vance. Assisting him in the recordings were Charlemaud Curtis, of the UNM Fine Arts Library and Luis Gallegos. Sublette joined in the songs at Portales and is playing his guitar in these recordings. Four other reels were recorded during a Hispanic church fiesta and the eighth one at a Catholic mass at the Santa Rosa de Lima parish church - both in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. The country songs portray the music played and heard in Anglo American towns across New Mexico. The Santa Rosa fiesta and church service represent the rich musical traditions of Hispanic New Mexico.
