Description
|
|
|
|
Portable popular entertainment at its best, this 15-track celebration of indigenous American music samples western swing, zydeco, blues, boogie, bluegrass, and conjunto, with tunes like "Big Ball's in Cowtown," "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie," and "Bill Morgan and His Gal." "Recalling eras before mass media homogenized our culture…. John Sebastian and the J-Band with Geoff Muldaur buoyantly revive Cannon's Jug Stompers' (and then the Grateful Dead's) 'Minglewood Blues' on this jovial foray to Texas dance halls, Chicago house parties and southwestern Louisiana fais-do-dos. Here are the endangered species of American roots music."—Goldmine The folk music archives that form the wellspring of these Smithsonian recordings are truly incomparable. Encompassing a wide variety of styles, they reflect the heart, soul, and backbone of the American experience as well as indigenous music from around the world. Folkways' impeccable sound and documentation does these artists proud, setting their work off as the treasure it is.
