I am so sorry I missed it.   From reports I've heard it is far from worthless tripe.   This is a living tradition, and even though the samples that they remixed were from mostly dead artists, the spirit comes through.    Curmudgeons may grumble, but I always feel that anything that can draw attention to these recordings is a healthy project.   

Michael, did you catch the Nashville Sings Woody concert?   There were some remarkable artists re-working some of Woody's classic songs as well as some "new" songs from words that were never set to music. I was most impressed with the German artist Wentzel as well as Rob Wasserman and D.J. Logic. I think it showed the relevance of Woody to a new audience. It doesn't replace the old recordings, it merely compliments them.

With apologies to Marshall McCluen, the message will come through regardless of the media.
