I found some interesting information I thought I'd share. I didn't realize this until I ran across this today, but Copland's Hoedown from Rodeo (a frequently discussed piece on here) was based (pretty much note-for-note) on a single Library of Congress recording of one particular fiddler's interpretation of a traditional tune. I ran across the source recording here on YouTube:

Apparently Ruth Crawford Seeger made a transcription of this recording, which Copland used as the source material for the Hoedown, which you can read about here.
A discussion of various versions of this tune (with examples) is here.
Anyway, I thought this was kind of interesting. Now if I could just find that Brazilian tune Copland stole to write the Concerto....

Or, its better known title: "One long tonguing exercise written for the wrong clarinet"

A band called Mad Pudding recorded, I am not making this up, a folkie version of Emerson Lake and Palmer's rock version of Aaron Copland's classical version of a folkie fiddle tune.
