Description
Whether documenting the sinking of the Titanic or a long-forgotten local murder, these 70 recordings are audio messages in a bottle, reflecting a lost world where age-old ballads rubbed up against songs inspired by the day's headlines.
Description
"In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Depression gripped the nation. It was a time when songs were tools for living. A whole community would turn out to mourn the loss of a member and to sow their songs like seeds. This collection is a wild garden grown from those seeds." -- Tom Waits, from Introduction.
Description
"This beautifully remastered 70 track collection presents powerful and tragic stories from the Golden Age of American roots music." -- back cover.
