From Amazon.com
The boom of interest in traditional American music that peaked in the early 1960s has never waned at Chicago's venerable Old Town School of Folk Music. Like the school's initial one-disc volume, this two-disc set features Chicago recording artists, kindred spirits, and instructors at the school performing a wide range of folk standards and obscurities, substantially annotated in the accompanying booklet. Among the revelations: a luminous rendition of "Water Is Wide" by Cat Edgerton, a country recasting of "Corrina, Corrina" by James Hand, an atmospheric update of the Shaker spiritual "Simple Gifts" by the Zincs, the melodic liberties taken by Laura Doherty with Donovan's "Colours," the harmony pairing of Amy (daughter of Willie) Nelson and Cathy (daughter of Arlo) Guthrie as Folk Uke on the Carter Family's "Wildwood Flower," and a rarely heard verse to "Home on the Range" sung by Nora O'Connor. Most of the 42 tracks invite singalongs, making this the ideal soundtrack for your next at-home hootenanny. --Don McLeese
