In 1952, musicologist Harry Smith compiled the epochal six-album Anthology of American Folk Music . This two-CD/two-DVD box set features live performances by artists from Beck and Elvis Costello to Nick Cave and Lou Reed -- most of them credibly tackling the Appalachian folk ballads and gut-bucket blues Smith exposed to music lovers worldwide.
