The Harry Smith Anthology Vol 4 - Part 2

April 17, 2013

Art takes a look at the lost volume of the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music. Perhaps the most influential and certainly the most revered collection of early old-timey and country music from the 1920s and 1930s, the original 1952 release of the Anthology included three 2 LP volumes. However, it was later revealed that a 4th volume was in the works by collector Harry Smith. After Smith lost interest in the project, this volume stayed unreleased until 1999 when Revenent Records released it as a 2-disc CD set.
