Description:
In a specially priced 2 CD set, 42 folk music classics are given a good going over by notable recording artists and the schools longtime music instructors, each breathing new life into timeless songs. And as testament to the durability of these tunes, they stand up to wide variety of genre-busting experiments and instrumental and vocal chicanery. The performances on Volumes Two and Three range from the ambient/electro treatment of `Simple Gifts` by Chicagos The Zincs, to the heart-breakingly spare take on Tom Paxtons `Last Thing On My Mind` by Kelly Hogan and Scott Ligon. Other artists featured include James Hand, Marvin Etziiono (Lone Justice), Nora OConnor, Amy Allison (daughter of Mose Allison), The Lost Bayou Ramblers, Foghorn Stringband, and Amy Nelson & Cathy Guthrie (Folk Uke, daughters of Willie Nelson & Arlo Guthrie).
