Subject: RE: Harry Smith's Anthology
I had read about the set for years, and only got to buy it about 18 months ago.
It has real appeal and a rawness which wouldn't be aloud to be recorded these days, at least not commercially.
After listening to the set I can now hear its influence in a multitude of singers, who have had a ride or two on its coat tails.
It is like an uncut diamond, even on C.D. a treasure.
