Revenant's two-CD set comprises 28 vintage recordings -- by Robert Johnson, the Carter Family, Lead Belly, the Monroe Brothers, and others -- which were selected by the late folklorist and artist Smith for a fourth installment of his influential collection that was ultimately not released.
The new set, to be housed in a hardbound package, will include a 96-page booklet with notes by Fahey, poet/musician Ed Sanders of the Fugs (whose 1965 debut album was produced by Smith), John Cohen of the New Lost City Ramblers, collector Dick Spottswood, and critic Greil Marcus.
