A terrific story!! 23 Oct 2008

By Ronald Cohen - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

This is a terrific history of Folkways Records, an amazing company that is still in business as Smithsonian Folkways. The text and numerous illustrations give an overview of the highly influential record company that Moe Asch oversaw for four decades. This is highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of recorded sound in the 20th century.
