AMERICAN ROOTS MUSIC - COUNTRY-BLUES-GOSPEL-CAJUN-NATIVE AMERICAN

Description: AMERICAN ROOTS MUSIC - COUNTRY - BLUES - GOSPEL - CAJUN - TEJANO - NATIVE AMERICAN - 4 CD BOX SET + 48-PAGE BOOK The successes of the breakthrough soundtrack from the film O Brother Where Art Thou? and the in-depth PBS television series Ken Burns' Jazz seem to have combined in the 2001 production of Palm Pictures' four-part TV series American Roots Music. The series touches on the development of the distinctly American styles of traditional folk, country, blues, gospel, Western swing, bluegrass, cajun, zydeco, Tejano, and Native American music. Corresponding with the television event, Palm has released a four-CD box set soundtrack with a 48-page booklet covering the styles covered during the show. The depth of the track selection is impressive, as is the breadth of the performers chosen. The producers have chosen to include some studio recordings, and some audio tracks taken from the film archives. The discs span more than eight decades of music, acting as a good overview of these genres for new listeners, while Americana enthusiasts will view it as another great collection of the most influential American roots artists in music history.
