Great collection of Alan Lomax's work and information about his life. URL for this Website used to be www.alan-lomax.com - the new URL doesn't make a lot of sense, but the Website still has very good information on the work of Alan Lomax.

The Old, Weird America - My exploration of Harry Smith’s Anthology |
http://oldweirdamerica.wordpress.com/ |
Folklore |
With this blog, I want to use Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music as a roadmap to explore American folk music and maybe other countries traditions along the way. I’ll use texts, images, music and videos gathered from my personal collection and from the net to make this work-in-progress enjoyable and educational the best I can. Any suggestions, additional information, comments and critics are welcome…
