Harry Smith - Harry Smiths Complete Anthology Of American Folk Music
Review by David Horn
Harry Smith's Complete Anthology of American Folk Music is a masterpiece that should be in every music lover's collection. The album is a compilation of traditional American folk songs that were recorded between 1927 and 1932. Harry Smith, a collector and archivist, compiled the songs from his personal collection of 78 rpm records, which were mostly obscure and forgotten at the time of their release.
The album is a treasure trove of American music history, featuring a wide range of genres including blues, country, gospel, and Cajun. The songs are raw, emotional, and authentic, reflecting the struggles and joys of everyday people during a tumultuous period in American history.
What makes this album so special is Harry Smith's curation. He selected songs that were not only musically significant but also culturally significant. The songs reflect the diversity of American culture, featuring artists from various ethnic and regional backgrounds.
Moreover, the album's liner notes provide valuable context and insight into the songs and their origins. They offer a glimpse into the world of the artists and the social and political climate of the time.

Well obviously I'm here, so you can know that I have succeeded
I later found out about The Childe Ballad series. It just amazed me that a song from the mountains was the same as an English song.
