The Harry Smith Project

Harry Smith's "Anthology of American Folk Music" is the seminal compilation of the genre, inspiring generations of musicians. Now, some of the contemporary artists who have drawn from Harry's well have contributed to "The Harry Smith Project: Anthology of American Folk Music Revisited," a 2-CD/2-DVD collection of performances and documentary. The roster includes the likes of Beck, Wilco, Steve Earle, Richard Thompson, Beth Orton, Lou Reed, and Nick Cave.
