folk music is almost non-existent over the airwaves out west or in the south where i've spent most of the last 30 years or so... to find it you gotta know someone or do a lot of digging. that's what i do, thanks to e-bay... i dig around for deals on sampler discs of my favorite kinds of music and once in a while i get lucky. (i also buy a little too much "crap" too). such is not the case with "putamayo presents". these folks sure know how to "scratch my itch"! almost everything on this disc is worth the price of admission, particularly the offerings of nanci griffith, lucy kaplansky, elizabeth mitchell, and jeffrey foucault, to name a few. i probably woulda gave this disc 5-stars if it wasn't for the fact that their 1st compilation disc from 1993 was so much better (easily a 5 or 6 star disc!) man, i sure hope they don't make me wait 12 yrs. for another sampler set!!!Read full review
this 'AMERICAN FOLK ' CD is a must have, I bought two, one as a back up =) Not the usual lame covers with bland/synthesized instrumentation, this has exceptional covers, excellent musicians, and savory obscure originals ! The whole CD is good, dont have to skip any =)
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The youthful sounds and traditional patterns of Arabic music is such a distinctive combination that is immensely enjoyable, and Putumayo has assembled a great selection.

I bought this CD to add to my Patty Griffin collection. I ended up with a list of artists that I had not heard and I am now buying their stuff! Filled with mellow fiddles & quiet banjo, new voices and beautiful songs. Great CD!!
