5.0 out of 5 stars
The best collection of basic American music yet compiled.,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Roots Collection (Audio CD)
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. You will have all the tracks memorized and will be playing the CD even after the machine is shut-off. The CD shows the incredible range of American music. This is the BEST.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Intended as an introduction to the Smithsonian Folkways collection...,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: American Roots Collection (Audio CD)
...this is a great such introduction. Twenty six tracks from all over the traditional American music, "roots," field. Blues, jazz, bluegrass, older popular songs, what we would call folk music. There are samples available on amazon, listen to what a crazy wide variety there is. And this is a tiny snapshot of the sounds that the Folkways folks have recorded. Some of the recordings go back to wire recorders (pre-tape) or record cutters (record recorders) on people's front porches. Obviously the sound quality isn't always the best.
