Among the many highlights here are Clarence Ashley and Doc Watson's ragged and yet sleek version of "The Coo Coo Bird," Doug Wallin's creaky and breathless a cappella version of "Pretty Saro," Lucinda Williams' Cajun two-step, "Lafayette," and a compelling take by Elizabeth Cotten of her signature song, "Freight Train.".

  • hoped for much more

    I was definitely hoping for something more interesting from such a prestigious name as the Smithsonian. They must - you would think - have hundreds of hours of all kinds of unknown singers and musicians, so it's deeply disappointing to see a same-old selection of the likes of Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, and Pete Seeger, with a heavy (and I mean heavy) emphasis on protest songs. Of interest only if you are completely new to the genre.
