Blind Alfred Reed
Genre: Folk
This is a very interesting body of material. A lot of it is social commentary, such as the piece "Why Do You Bob Your Hair, Girls?" where Blind Alfred Reed expresses his anger at women cutting their hair short, as was the new style in the 1920s. Blind Alfred Reed was from Floyd.

Field Recordings Volume 1: Virginia 1936-1941
I have no idea where any of these musicians were from specifically, but it's possible that some were from the Roanoke Valley. I recommend this fascinating article on this compilation, from Record Fiend. Here is an excerpt:
"My educated guess is that the first 13 tracks - consisting of spirituals, songster material, and track-lining songs - were recorded at the State Penitentiary in Richmond in 1936. John Williams's "'Twas on a Monday," Willie Williams's "(The) New Burying Ground," and "Bitin' Spider" (a variant of "Take This Hammer"), and J. (James) Wilson's "Can't You Line 'Em" and "Laying Rail (1 & 2)" are the type of spellbinding a cappella group performances that sadly seemed to be collected only when blacks were incarcerated in the hellhole prisons of the South."
Genre: Blues, Leadbelly, Gospel, Folk, Minstrel Tunes
