Ball of Wax Volume 26: A Tribute to the Anthology of American Folk Music

by Various

supported by

John Cratchley I've listened to Harry Smith's 'Anthology' for many years now...it's proven so influential...I think he intended it to be inspirational and this brilliant response on Ball of Wax is marvellous...new artists and new interpretations...just perfect!
Please check out this enterprising audio journal and their no brainer subscription...you'll be very pleasantly surprised.A real labour of love and exquisitely designed artefacts to be treasured.

Favorite track: John the Revelator.

michael beaver "Farewell, you old corn rabbits, also you dodger pills. Likewise you walking skeletons, you old sassafras heels." Favorite track: My Name Is John Johanna.

Into The Trees

Bewitching cello "looper" mixed like Ed Alleyne-Johnson did in early nineties but not on New Age way. Here it is as closer to J.S. Bach and his Cello Suite than Ed Alleyne. But the method is similar. A very relaxing performance brings ears to nirvana by sounding rich harmonics from her instrument. Siting quiet on a sofa savoring these sumptuous melodies taking my mind out of daily customs. This is what I feel while I'm listening to this album. Emmanuel Codden

It's not only great jazz you get from MoonJune, of course. The stable is rich with talent from the forefront of progressive music. This sampler gives two and a half hours of those riches to tempt you into investigating talent you may not have been aware of before. Listen. Enjoy. Peter Jones
