I have just seen this brilliant documentary on Harry Smith at our local independent Film Festival. He seems like someone who should be far better known, both for the person he was and what he did for folk music. Also, the film was very well made. It absolutely enthralled me. Musicians appearing in the film performing songs from the Anthology of American Folk Music include Richard Thompson, Elvis Costello, Nick Cave, Beth Orton, and others. It was directed by Rani Singh, and was made in 2006. Has anybody else seen this, and what do they think of it?
Cheers,
