50 years after renowned musicologist, filmmaker and painter, Harry Smith (1923-1991) compiled the definitive Anthology Of American Folk Music, Shout! Factory will release The Harry Smith Project: Anthology Of American Folk Music Revisited, a four-disc audio/video tribute to the legendary archivist. In a series of concerts at the turn of the millennium, Beck, Sonic Youth, Elvis Costello, Nick Cave, David Johansen, Steve Earle, Richard Thompson, Beth Orton, and others paid tribute to Harry Smith and his Anthology, which encompasses the entire repertoire of American folk music. Compiled by producer Hal Willner, the new box set draws inspiration from Smith's landmark 1952 six-album compilation, which brought such blues and roots artists as The Carter Family, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Mississippi John Hurt, Dock Boggs and Uncle Dave Macon to national attention and sparked the late-1950s/early-1960s urban folk revival. (The concert DVD, The Harry Smith Project Live, will also be available for purchase separately on November 7th)
