The Old Weird America: Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music

Rani Singh's docu-film tracks the history of Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music from his initial compilation of 78s from rural Americana of the 1920s and 30s to its release on Folkways Records in 1952. Instrumental in helping inspire the urban folk revival of the 1960s, it continues to influence music today. A remarkable set of interviewees reveals the lasting impact of the Anthology and the incredible personality of Harry Smith.
