The Early Years (1958-1962)

The Early Years (1958-1962) (1991) more music like this

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 ...

No Depression: What It Sounds Like, Vol. 1

No Depression: What It Sounds Like, Vol. 1 (2004) more music like this

by Various Artists

The release of No Depression: What It Sounds Like (Vol. 1) has an air of the Smithsonian Institute about it, suggesting that the 14-year-old genre can now be safely displayed for popular consumption. Luckily, however, the songs never sound like museum pieces. With the help of No Depression's -- the periodical -- editors Grant Alden and Peter ...

A Proper Introduction to the Carter Family: Keep on the Sunny Side

A Proper Introduction to the Carter Family: Keep on the Sunny Side (2004) more music like this

Certainly there are dozens if not a hundred compilations of the music of the Carter Family. While Rounder issued the complete Victor recordings, and there have been some Columbia sets issued as well, this fairly priced single-disc, 25-cut collection from Proper is all most people need. These tunes were all taken from the 1920s and '30s, and are ...

The Harry Smith Project: Anthology of American Folk Music Revisited

The Harry Smith Project: Anthology of American Folk Music Revisited (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

In 1952 a record collector and musicologist named Harry Smith put together some of his obscure findings, music recorded in various pockets of America between 1927 and 1934, and released them on Folkways Records as a six-disc set called The Anthology of American Folk Music. Many of the artists represented on these recordings had been long forgotten ...

Anthology of American Folk Music, Vol. 4 (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Harry Smith-compiled three-volume Anthology of American Folk Music set, originally released in the 1950s and reissued to much brouhaha in 1997, was one of the most important records in launching the folk revival. It was not well known, though, that Smith compiled a fourth volume that was unissued. Revenant finally put it out in 2000, and like ...

The Decca Sessions, Vol. 1 (1936) (2001) more music like this

by The Carter Family

If there was a Mount Rushmore of country music, the Carter Family would be on it. That, however, doesn't mean that everyone listens to their music; their old-timey vocals strike many as out of tune, rough-hewn, and otherworldly. The recordings the Carter Family made for Decca between 1936 and 1938, however, are different. Some aficionados consider ...
