The 21st Century companion to Harry Smith's ANTHOLOGY OF AMERICAN FOLK MUSIC. Alt-Country & modern rock artists celebrate the roots of American music.4 disc set contains 2 concerts CDs, a Concert Film DVD (The Harry Smith Project Live) & a full-length documentary THE OLD, WEIRD AMERICA (Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music) plus 3 films by Harry Smith with interactive music selections. The array of star power on this two-disc is dizzying, and the performances no less so: Beck boogies through 'Last Fair Deal Gone Down,' Steve Earle's trademark grit perfectly suits 'Prison Call Blues,' Wilco's easy alt-country groove ambles through 'James Alley Blues,' and Sonic Youth finds the weirdness in 'Dry Bones,' one of the original collection's most memorable cuts. Other highlights include Richard Thompson and Eliza Carthy's stomping version of 'The Coo Coo Bird,' Nick Cave's 'John the Revelator,' and Marianne Faithful's beautifully subdued take on 'Spike Driver Blues.'
