Synopsis

Album Description

Volume I is a four disc set with a 96 page book that contains essays and annotations by Art and over 100 illustrations and photographs by Art and Margo. Art took a similar approach to Harry Smith in assembling the music: the discs are divided into Blues, Instrumental and Dance, Sacred, and a Survey disc that has a little bit of everything.

CD Reviews

Old, weird America in porch recordings

Michael A. Duvernois | Minneapolis, MN United States | 04/07/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an excellent, though hardly exhaustive, compilation of field recorded folk music. Genuine, weird folk music from the (often twisted) genius of ordinary folks. The packaging is a disgrace and the price is unreasonably high, but the music speaks louder than flimsy cases and art-object prices."

Fantasic.

David A. Brody | PA | 07/03/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The recordings and the people in them are now saved for all of us to hear. An amazing job. I have been listening to folk music all of my life and this set is a most valuable addtion to my collection. THANKS TO THE PEOPLE WHO PUT THIS COLLECTION TOGETHER!!

A note about the packaging. No more "boxed" sets."
