Troubadours – Folk And The Roots Of American Music, Vol.1-4 (12-CD) 3-CD Digipak with 152-page booklet (English language), 75 tracks. Total playing time approx. 203 mns. In the one hundred years that folk music has been recorded in the United States, the tradition has embraced ballads – mostly new, but some transplanted from Europe, political statements, personal introspection, and much more. Now the story is here from the 1920s to the 1970s and beyond in four exclusive 3-CD sets. Through this music, we feel it all from the isolation of early twentieth century Appalachia through the economic and political upheavals of the Depression, War, and Civil Rights eras to contemporary west coast singer-songwriters looking within for inspiration. The story is here: original artists and original versions in stunning sound with detailed notes from folk scholar Dave Samuelson. The first set covers the period from the 1920s through to 1957. All the names you’d expect are here: the Carter Family, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, the Weavers, Lead Belly, Cisco Houston, and many, many more. Here are the original versions of songs that have become classics and rallying cries:  Wildwood Flower, Midnight Special, Rock Island Line, Wayfaring Stranger, So Long It’s Been Good To Know You, This Land Is Your Land, 16 Tons, 900 Miles, Delia , and many, many more. 3-CD Digipak with 120-page booklet (English language), 70 tracks. Total playing time approx. 221 mns. The second set begins with the folk revival that started in the wake of the Kingston Trio’s  Tom Dooley  and continues through the dawn of the singer-songwriter era. It includes early folk revival classics like  Walk Right In, Michael,  and  Green, Green . The second disc begins with Bob Dylan’s game-changing classics,  Blowing In The Wind, Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right, A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall, Masters Of War, Mr. Tambourine Man,  and  The Times They Are A-Changin‘.  It was the Civil Rights era and the Vietnam era, so the music took on contemporary issues. In Dylan’s wake came Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, Tim Hardin, Fred Neil, and many others, all of them represented by their finest work. 3-CD Digipak mit 112-seitigem Booklet, 63 Einzeltitel. Gesamtspieldauer ca. 233 Minuten Along with folklorist Alan Lomax, Pete Seeger was a primary figure in seeding and shaping the American folk music revival. He never viewed himself as an entertainer, nor was he particularly comfortable as a solo performer. Yet his evangelical zeal for folk music and progressive social change inspired and nurtured three generations of singer-songwriters. Born May 3, 1919 in New York City, Pete Seeger was the third and youngest son of Charles and Constance Seeger, instructors at the New York Institute of Musical Art. The couple divorced when Peter was eight years old. In 1932 Charles married his student, Ruth Crawford, now hailed as a major 20th century composer. The couple had four children; of them, Mike and Peggy Seeger also became significant figures in American folk music.  In summer 1936, Charles and Ruth took the 17-year-old Peter to the ‚Mountain Dance And Folk Festival‘ near Asheville, North Carolina. The youth was fascinated by the square dances and especially Bascom Lamar Lunsford’s and Samantha Bumgarner’s driving five-string banjo styles. Seeger spent the next five years perfecting his own banjo technique. After dropping out of Harvard University, Seeger became involved with folk music, labor organizing and politics. Alan Lomax encouraged the youth, hiring him to catalog race and old-time music recordings held by the Archive of American Folk Song in the Library of Congress. As Seeger’s confidence and musical skills grew, Lomax invited him to participate on his CBS radio show. In March 1940 Seeger met balladeer Woody Guthrie at a New York fundraiser for displaced migrant workers. In January 1941 Seeger, Lee Hays and Millard Lampell formed the Almanac Singers, performing folk songs and incisive topical songs at meetings, private functions, and labor rallies. Singing in natural, unaffected voices and driven by Seeger’s clawhammer banjo, the Almanacs fused the essence and excitement of rural Southern string bands with the passion of labor songs and the dry, clever wit of New York’s cabaret entertainers. This appealing music hybrid defined the sound and style of the American folk revival, and their records inspired a generation of young musicians. During the group’s brief existence, the Almanac Singers‘ revolving roster included Woody Guthrie, Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry, Josh White, Bess Lomax Hawes and Agnes ‚Sis‘ Cunningham. While…
