[HANASHIR:14622] Re: 60s Folk Music (and 50's too)

[Marti Nerenstone <mnerenstone...>]

  Smithsonian-Folkways is a superb label to check out for a lot of 
classic folk music (read broadly - "folk", old-timey, classic bluegrass, 
blues, etc) - this is the successor to Moses Asch's old Folkways label - 
they've re-released much music (such as the old Carter Family Victor 
recordings, and old recordings from the civil rights movement (a four-CD 
set which includes many cuts from the SNCC Singers (with a young Bernice 
Johnson, one of the founding mothers of Sweet Honey in the Rock), as 
well as church meetings) and released new compilations (such as from 
Mike Seeger, Pete Seeger, etc) - although, I have yet to see re-releases 
of other recordings, such as Vanguard, or some of the old (double) LPs 
of Phil Ochs, Joan Baez, Mimi and Richard Fariña, etc
