If you can make it through the scratchy recordings, the unconventional singing voices, & the sheer grit of these forgotten musicians, you'll find just about every emotion & condition known to man. If you can't relate to at least a couple songs in this collection, you haven't lived very long. Every commandment is broken & every step towards salvation is taken & everything in between. There are songs of faith, unfaithfulness, hope, heaven, murder, drunkenness, bribery hard work, hard times, hard living, hard travelling, fantasy, reality, truth, mistaken identity, adultery, jubilation...it's all there. This song is the essence of the blues...sometimes I think that you're too sweet to die, other times I think you oughta be buried alive...andrew!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05821924786524802006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23127200.post-31581633545302450352006-12-28T15:16:00.000-08:002006-12-28T15:16:00.000-08:00Ah, he bought the anthology!

New worlds were opened up to me the day I got the Anthology of American Folk Music, I always refer to it as the Canterbury Tales of American Folk Music. I'm glad somebody in the family is interested in all kinds of wierd music like myself.andrew!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05821924786524802006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23127200.post-30053732687109120812006-12-28T13:35:00.000-08:002006-12-28T13:35:00.000-08:00Andy - Matt spent his entire Christmas money on an...Andy - Matt spent his entire Christmas money on an interesting box set of folk music you recommended - some good stuff.
