This week we take an in-depth look at an interesting new box set that is dedicated to the music from Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music.
The premise may be a bit confusing, but we explain it all during the course of the show. If you like Americana, then this show ought to appeal to you. Listen up, and we’ll take you through the world of Harry Smith, while playing songs from the original collection and the new Anthology, which revisits the original collection.
Here’s a list of songs covered in today’s program;
1) James Alley Blues – Richard Brown followed by Wilco’s version
2) Frankie – Mississippi John Hurt followed by Beth Orton’s version
3) Old Dog Blue – Jim Jackson followed by David Johansen’s version
4) The Butcher’s Boy – Buell Kazee followed by Elvis Costello’s version
5) Single Girl, Married Girl – The Carter Family followed by Petra Haden’s version
6) Last Fair Deal Gone Down – Robert Johnson followed by Beck’s version
