Music reviews of Classic Mountain Songs from Smithsonian Folkways
Music Review: Amazing
Rating: 5 Stars
A wonderful collection of true folk music. These recordings haven't been softened by the modern sounds or current bluegrass. These recordings sound like they're of neighbors out singing on their porches having a great time. Some of the vocalists are a little rough around the edges, but that's what makes this truly great! Music like this is hard to find and I'm thrilled by my copy of this album.
