Music reviews of Anthology Of American Folk Music (Edited By Harry Smith)Music Review: not happy Rating: 4 StarsThe price dropped after I ordered this and before I even received the package. Amazon would not give me the lower price saying that they don't adjust "completed" orders. So they consider an order is "complete" as soon as you order..not when you receive it. This was my last order.
Description of Anthology Of American Folk Music (Edited By Harry Smith)This deluxe 6-CD collector's boxed set contains a 96-page book featuring Harry Smith's original songbook framed by essays by Greil Marcus and other noted writers, musicians, and scholars. Play the enhanced sixth disc on your CD-ROM drive and access historic video footage, rare photos, artist interviews, and additional background information. Edited by Harry Smith. Reissue compiled by the staff of Smithsonian Folkways. Reissue liner notes by Greil Marcus, Neil Rosenberg, Jeff Place, Jon Pankake, Luis Kemnitzer and others. "...the missing link in rock's official history." -Newsweek ***** (five stars) -Rolling Stone This impressive--and frankly, fun--musical document is still sending out shock waves almost 50 years after its original 1952 vinyl release. The Smithsonian's six-CD reissue is painstakingly researched, annotated, and packaged (even boasting an enhanced disc for the techno-capable). Unlike field recorders, eccentric filmmaker/collector/musicologist Harry Smith assembled the Anthology from commercially released (though obscure) 78 rpm discs issued between 1927 and 1935. Its broad scope--from country blues to Cajun social music to Appalachian murder ballads--was monumentally influential, setting musicians like Bob Dylan down the path to folk fandom. The White House started its own national music library with the Anthology; anyone with more than a passing interest in American roots music should do the same. --Michael Ruby More from Smithsonian Folkways  The Harry Smith Connection: A Live Tribute To The Anthology Of American Folk Music |  Classic Maritime Music from Smithsonian Folkways Recordings |  Smithsonian Folkways American Roots Collection |  Classic Mountain Songs from Smithsonian Folkways |  Classic Blues From Smithsonian Folkways |  Folkways: The Original Vision |
