- Synopsis:
Hal Willners Harry Smith Project concerts in London, New York and Los Angeles celebrated the eccentric collector genius and his influential Anthology Of American Folk Musk. Instrumental in inspiring the urban folk revival of the 1960s, the Anthology's continuing impact on modern music is incalculable. Drawing on this legacy, these landmark shows brought together a remarkable roster of artists performing their own unique interpretations of these classic songs. From Nick Cave's cathartic take on spirituals to Lou Reed's mesmerizing evocation of Blind Lemon Jefferson, these passionate reinterpretations (as well as others by F. lvis Cosiello, Reck, Sonic Youth, Steve Earle, Beth Orton, Percy Heath, Philip Glass. David Johansen and more) resurrect ghosts and connect the leading musicians of today with the greatest songs of America's past. Join us for a wild ride through a remarkable musical landscape.
