Lead Belly - Folkways: The Original Vision

Reintroduce yourself to the Smithsonian Folkways essentials. More than 15 years ago, FOLKWAYS: THE ORIGINAL VISION was one of the first album released by a then fledgling Smithsonian Folkways label. It was conceived and sequenced to complement FOLKWAYS: A VISION SHARED, a benefit/tribute album consisting of 14 reinterpretations of Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly songs by a cross-section of some of popular music's top stars at the time. Now, with the re-release of this historic album on it's 15th anniversary, Smithsonian Folkways expands upon the original concept with the addition of 6 bonus tracks, and enhances it with stunning new packaging and newly extended notes.
