Andy Biskin: Songs from the Alan Lomax Collection
by Glenn Astarita
Alan Lomax's (1915-2002) field recordings and research heightened our awareness of folk music, i.e. Americana.

Shortly after graduating college, clarinetist, composer Andy Biskin was Lomax's research assistant. And here, the artist revisits the aura of Lomax's lifelong plight and ...

If you know your history you're aware the ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax, beginning just before WWII, recorded (and preserved) folk and blues music ...
Dead Composers Club: The Chopin Project

We have a pretty clear case of truth in advertising here; this top-notch recording offers exactly what it says on the tin.

Despite the socially conscious themes that its track titles, lyrics, and multi-layered musical journeys explore, Garcia has made clear this is not a protest album. At least not in the typical sense.
