Editorial Reviews
Review
"Worlds of Sound should not be read straight through like a novel. Better to absorb it piecemeal: a chapter devoted to international music here; a sidebar about Greenwich Village there... (there are) an abundance of profiles, history, discographies and photographs." -- Downbeat
Worlds of Sound tells a tale that sings, drums, plays, chirps, rings, trills, and thrums. Thank you, Richard Carlin, for telling the Folkways story-one of the most vibrant, exciting tales of all time. --Mickey Hart, musician and author

Review
Worlds of Sound is a monumental study that captures the vision of Moses "Moe" Asch and his lifelong effort to preserve folk music in the 20th century. Richard Carlin eloquently captures Asch's life and his recordings in a book that features stunning photography and artwork.
"The book is breezy but insightful and informative, with the chapters covering different aspects of the label and its history, so it's easy to skip around, and it's laid out with lots of pictures of album covers, recording sessions, and documents for the label's history."
