Various - American Folk Anthology
Review by Érick Ismael Hernández Chávez
The American Folk Anthology album is a remarkable collection of traditional American folk music. Featuring various artists, the album offers a comprehensive look at the history and evolution of American folk music. With its authentic sound and emotive lyrics, the album captures the essence of the genre.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Oh Death" by Dock Boggs, which sets the tone for the entire album. Other standout tracks include "Tom Dooley" by The Kingston Trio, "House of the Rising Sun" by Dave Van Ronk, and "John Henry" by Pete Seeger. Each song is performed with genuine passion and skill, showcasing the artists' impressive vocal and instrumental abilities.
The album also includes lesser-known tracks such as "Gypsy Davy" by Woody Guthrie and "Little Maggie" by Ralph Stanley, which add depth and variety to the collection. The tracks are arranged in a way that makes the album flow seamlessly from one song to the next, creating a cohesive listening experience.
