Folklorist Harry Smith’s House-"Feather Bed" — Cannon's Jug Stompers (1928)

Folklorist Harry Smith’s House-"Feather Bed" — Cannon's Jug Stompers (1928)






The year has turned into something a year of review of the folk revival of the 1960s. In November I featured a posting of many of the episodes (via “YouTube”) of Pete Seeger’s classic folk television show from the 1960s, “Rainbow Quest”. I propose to do the same here to end out the year with as many of the selections from Harry Smith’s seminal “Anthology Of American Folk Music,” in one place, as I was able to find material for, either lyrics or "YouTube" performances (not necessarily by the original performer). This is down at the roots, for sure.
