Theme: Inspired by Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music
Harry Smith was a filmmaker who compiled 84 songs recorded commercially by various artists between 1926 and 1933. The Anthology of American Folk Music was released by Folkways Records in 1952 and reissued as a 6-CD boxed set by Smithsonian Folkways in 1997. Generations of artists have been inspired and influenced by the Anthology over the past 70 years. This show showcases contemporary versions of some of the songs from the Anthology recorded between the 1960s and 2020s. Some of these versions are faithful to the ones included on the Anthology while others take the songs in new directions.
