Anthology of American Folk Music

The Anthology of American Folk Music is a recording that collects several dozen folk and country songs which were initially recorded from the 1920s and 1930s, and were first released on 78 rpm records. Although the choice of songs is idiosyncratic, the collection is famous due to its role as a touchstone for the folk music revival in the 1950s and 1960s.
