About Close To Home / Various
Amazon.com Mike Seeger's fame is often overshadowed by his older half-brother Pete Seeger's notoriety, but his contributions to the American folk canon--both as a member of the New Lost City Ramblers and as a song collector--are pretty impressive in their own right. Close to Home is Seeger's hand-picked selection of recordings he made on visits to the south in the 1950's and 60's. It's a refreshing, very well annotated sampler, chock full of previously unreleased old-timey tracks by important artists like Sara & Maybelle Carter, Elizabeth Cotten, Dock Boggs, Wade Ward and Texas fiddler Eck Robertson. Some of the lesser known musicians, though, steal the show--just check out Kilby Snow's stunning autoharp solo, "He Will Set Your Fields on Fire." --Michael Ruby Product Description This compilation features over an hour of previously unreleased tracks culled from the archives of Mike Seeger, one of America's foremost collectors. Artists include Dock Boggs, Snuffy Jenkins, Tom Ashley, Arthur Smith, Sara Carter Bayes, Maybelle Carter, Elizabeth Cotten and more.
