Comment: The recordings and the people in them are now saved for all of us to hear. An amazing job. I have been listening to folk music all of my life and this set is a most valuable addtion to my collection. THANKS TO THE PEOPLE WHO PUT THIS COLLECTION TOGETHER!!
A note about the packaging. No more "boxed" sets.

Summary: A celebration of music
Comment: The music on this compilation is wonderful. The sound quality is excellent, especially taking into account that all these recordings were done in the field. I like that the booklet has information on each track. I can't say enough good things about the collection. The only drawback, already pointed out by a reviewer is the physical box that holds the discs. However, the artwork, book and music itself more than makes up for this small disappointment. I am very happy I bought this and am anxiously awaiting Volume 2.

Summary: mixed bag
Comment: good recordings and book... the box is cheaply put together making it difficult to take cd's in and out of. all in all, a bit overpriced for the quality of the product. i purchased the Harry Smith collection brand new for a few dollars more. the smith box and packaging is much more sturdy and of course those stunning recordings are second to none.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Volume I is a four disc set with a 96 page book that contains essays and annotations by Art and over 100 illustrations and photographs by Art and Margo. Art took a similar approach to Harry Smith in assembling the music: the discs are divided into Blues, Instrumental and Dance, Sacred, and a Survey disc that has a little bit of everything.
