Free Music Notes for Classic Mountain Songs from Smithsonian Folkways
Free Music Review: exellent introduction
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an excellent introduction to the folk and traditional music of the Southern Highlands, both instrumental and vocal, sacred and secular. 24 tracks and not a dud to be found. My favorites include ballads by Doc Wallin and Jean Richie, accompanied lyrical songs by Clarence Ashley and Doc Boggs, and fiddle tunes from Wade Ward. Best track of all has be Lesley Riddle's `John Henry' - I have lots of recordings of this quintessential American folk ballad, and nothing quite approaches Riddle's performance. If you love this music you may already have many of these recordings, but it's nice to have them all in one place. If not but you're interested, this CD is a great place to start.Free Music Review: Amazing
Hit: 5 Stars
A wonderful collection of true folk music. These recordings haven't been softened by the modern sounds or current bluegrass. These recordings sound like they're of neighbors out singing on their porches having a great time. Some of the vocalists are a little rough around the edges, but that's what makes this truly great! Music like this is hard to find and I'm thrilled by my copy of this album.Free Music Review: Classic Mountain Songs is A+++

I purchased the cd because for years I've wanted to get the Folkways recordings of the original singers/recordings of these American Folk classics. I am not disappointed, and plan to purchase the rest of the series over time.Classic Mountain Songs from Smithsonian FolkwaysFree Music Review: Classic Mountain Music
Hit: 5 Stars
Great collection of songs echoing the roots of American music. A very good number of songs, so a lot of music for the dollar. If you want a taste of Scottish/English ballads you'll find it here. See the movie "Songcatcher" for a visual perspective on where this music form comes from.Free Music Review: Excellent Transaction!!!
