hot platter! HARRY SMITH'S ANTHOLOGY OF AMERICAN FOLK MUSIC VOL. 4
Harry Smith, the eccentric compiler of the legendary 3-volume "Anthology of American Folk Music," hinted that he had planned a fourth volume that was never released. Almost 50 years later, Revenant Records has used Smith's original song list to finally put together the missing set. Like the original Anthology, this 2-CD set is a time machine that will spin you back into the 1920's and 1930's with music from Robert Johnson, the Memphis Jug Band, the Heavenly Gospel Singers, the Monroe Brothers, the Blue Sky Boys, and many others. With 28 tracks ranging from the classic to the obscure, this collection will fascinate and inspire. Beautifully packaged in a 96-page hardbound book of essays, song notes, and photos.
