Alan Lomax--Popular Songbook: Lomax could be best-described as a music chronicler. Among the work he did was a series of recordings for the Library of Congress in the 1930s and 40s, featuring blues and folk music from the South. Younger peeps might know the music via Moby, who sampled some of the above-mentioned recordings for his 1999 album, Play.
This happened to pop up on Rhapsody last week as a featured selection, so I quickly downloaded it for a listen. Great stuff...highly recommended.
