like I said, there’s pretty good compilations that cover each of the areas that Smith chose in his Anthology:
>Kentucky mountain music box set
>I Belong to this band
>never let the same bee sting you twice
>the stuff dreams are made of volumes 1 and 2
One criticism I have of the anthology is that smith completely leaves out Tijano and other Hispanic American music styles while including Cajun music. Maybe it’s not a criticism most people would share but it seems arbitrary to prefer francophone folk over spanish American folk
