FOLK

VA - Folk Song America, A 20th Century Revival [1991] (4 x CDs)

“Folk Song America: A 20th Century Revival,” produced and released by the Smithsonian Collection Of Recordings in 1991, is not tied to any specific anniversary. However, it embodies the long-standing ambition of various local folk song societies to document the history of roots music in America. Over four decades later, we have a broader array of items to select from.

This 4 CD set successfully accomplishes two objectives. Firstly, it has spotlighted the origins of roots music, featuring early influences such as The Fisk Jubilee Singers, Buell Kazee, John Jacob Niles, Lead Belly, The Almanac Singers (including Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger), John and Alan Lomax, and others discovered in unique and intriguing ways. The set then transitions to post-World War II figures like Pete Seeger, The Weavers, The New Lost City Ramblers, and others. These influences were absorbed and expanded upon by the early 1960s folk revivalists, whose work constitutes the majority of the material here. Artists such as Peter Paul and Mary, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Tom Paxton, Dave Van Ronk, Jim Kweskin and the Jug Band, and many others reviewed in this space over the past few years, are given a new lease on life here as “the old fogies” who will inspire the next generation of folk revivalists. The series concludes with several post-folk revival tracks from artists like Taj Mahal, Sweet Honey in the Rock, and Magpie.

The second objective of the series is to serve as a catalyst for future interest in folk music. To support this goal, the Smithsonian, known for its premium historical music collections, provides an incredibly informative booklet by Norm Cohen. Even as someone who knows a lot about and lived through most of the 1960s folk revival. (B)

VA - Up In Lights, Great DEBUT Singles( A Butterboy Compilation) (8 x CD's)

GREAT DEBUT SINGLES 

VA - Up In Lights, Great DEBUT Singles( A Butterboy Compilation) (8 x CD's)

First impressions are so important, back in the old days, bands used to release things called "albums", which were often introduced by items known as "singles". As a buyer, the idea was you listened to the radio and heard a song you liked, then physically went to the record store and bought the single. If you really enjoyed the single – and could afford it – you then went and bought the whole album. I guess people do still buy albums, but that single? You hear it on a Spotify playlist and, if you could be bothered, you look up the artist. Old man warning: Things were better in the old days. (weekendnotes.com)

The medium may change from analog to digital, but there’s always something magical about a great single, a record that can change your life in four minutes or less, and there’s a special knack to coming up with a classic your first time out of the gate. Even the most brilliant artists haven’t always managed that and there are a few world-class bands who had an underwhelming single or two before their big breakthrough. Still, there are quite a few artists who claimed their territory with the first notes of their first single, and below are the greatest debut 45 records. A few were great one-offs, but most were the start of a long career. (udiscovermusic.com)

A great debut single is the opening line in a conversation you never want to end, and hearing a band or artist get it right on their first try is one of the greatest thrills in music. (Rolling stone)
