Various Artists
Not only was Maynard Solomon's Vanguard Records one of the major folk labels of the 60s (having the prescience to pick up Joan Baez early on, and then recording the cream of the singer/songwriters thereafter), but it also had the rights to record and release material from the Newport Folk Festival, giving it access to several artists who were not ...

Classic Bluegrass from Smithsonian Folkways

by
Various Artists
While bluegrass samplers are by no means rare, it's unusual to encounter one as well thought-out as this generous (and mid-priced) package from Smithsonian Folkways, the folk label known more for its ethnomusicological field recordings than its bluegrass albums. Cynics will point out that this collection comes hot on the heels of the success of ...

This assemblage of blues, bluegrass, mountain ballads, topical songs, and jazz shows the wide range of American vernacular music, and Smithsonian Folkways' commitment to it. Among the many highlights here are Clarence Ashley and Doc Watson's ragged and yet sleek version of "The Coo Coo Bird," Doug Wallin's creaky and breathless a cappella version ...

by
Various Artists
A collection of recordings from the Smithsonian archives, Folk Song America, Vol. 1 is an extremely interesting album, mostly because of its mix of genuine folk performers and folk revival practitioners who adapted and approached these traditional tunes as art songs and artifacts. The end result has Leadbelly's prison-refined artistry bumping up ...

The Early Years (1958-1962)

by
The New Lost City Ramblers
Moses Asch had a unique method of recording artists back in the '40s and '50s. Someone like Woody Guthrie, for instance, would just drop by Folkways when he had an idea and record. Asch might pay him five dollars for the session, and in this way he accumulated a vault full of material. Perhaps this explains the incredible fact that the New Lost ...

The New Lost City Ramblers
This 72-minute companion piece to The Early Years (1958-1962) is drawn from the seven Folkways albums that the New Lost City Ramblers recorded between 1963 and 1973, following the entry of Tracy Schwartz and the departure of Tom Paley, and it's every bit as essential as the first volume. Continuing their emphasis on careful replication of many ...

Unlike many bands, the history of the New Lost City Ramblers is fairly easy to trace. John Cohen and Mike Seeger joined with Tom Paley between '58 and '62, reviving string-band music from the '20s and '30s. In '62, Tracy Schwarz' replaced a departing Paley, adding new material to the band's repertoire. 40 Years of Concert Recordings proves as ...

The majority of the cuts on this album are being released for the first time, while all but one (the Kingston Trio's "M.T.A.," from 1959) are drawn from the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.

The New Lost City Ramblers were instrumental in bridging the gap between the young urban folk musicians of the early '60s, who embraced the form and feel of old-time American music, and the last of the great rural singers and players who had actually grown up with the music in its original incarnation. The Ramblers were careful to stay true to the ...

This was the one album by the New Lost City Ramblers to be bartered into an arrangement between Verve and Folkways in the mid-'60s, when one of the United States' reoccurring folk music revivals was in full swing. This meant that, at least for a time, entertainment conglomerate MGM was actually pressing the records of this group. How members such ...

Mike Seeger with the New Lost City Ramblers
Is it true that the modern country song "Streets of Baltimore" is more "immediate and far reaching" than the traditional ballad "Barbara Allen"? So says John Cohen, one of the members of this ensemble, and of course wading through his liner notes is part of the fun of a set such as this. "Rural Songs from an Industrial Society" is how he says this ...
