What Customers Say About Smithsonian Folkways American Roots Collection:
|
|
Obviously the sound quality isn't always the best. There are samples available on amazon, listen to what a crazy wide variety there is. Blues, jazz, bluegrass, older popular songs, what we would call folk music. 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. Twenty six tracks from all over the traditional American music, "roots," field. And this is a tiny snapshot of the sounds that the Folkways folks have recorded.
This is the BEST. You will have all the tracks memorized and will be playing the CD even after the machine is shut-off. 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. The CD shows the incredible range of American music.
