What Customers Say About Smithsonian Folkways American Roots Collection:
|
|
There are samples available on amazon, listen to what a crazy wide variety there is. Some of the recordings go back to wire recorders (pre-tape) or record cutters (record recorders) on people's front porches. .this is a great such introduction. And this is a tiny snapshot of the sounds that the Folkways folks have recorded. Obviously the sound quality isn't always the best. Twenty six tracks from all over the traditional American music, "roots," field. Blues, jazz, bluegrass, older popular songs, what we would call folk music.
The CD shows the incredible range of American music. You will have all the tracks memorized and will be playing the CD even after the machine is shut-off. This is the BEST. If you have to listen to any music, this is the collection to listen to. It covers all the basic beginnings of American Music and leaves you with a want for more.
