hot platter! SONGCATCHER II: THE TRADITION THAT INSPIRED THE MOVIE: The movie "Songcatcher" portrayed a musicologist who collected traditional folksongs in Appalachia. The soundtrack CD (VAN-CD79586) was a critical and commercial success, but featured contemporary singers like Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton. This follow-up album, on the other hand, offers genuine traditional singers and musicians. The performances aren't from the film, but (as producer Fred Jasper says) this CD comes much closer to capturing the feeling of the movie. "This is authentic. This is beautiful. This is real." Great performances (some from the Newport Folk Festival) by Almeda Riddle, Dock Boggs, Hobart Smith, Fiddlin' Arthur Smith, Clarence Ashley, and more, including four ballads from Doc Watson. A fine collection of traditional music!
