Ross (3282 KP) rated Anthology of American Folk Music by Various Artists in Music
May 26, 2020
Rolling Stone's 278th greatest album of all time
I had hoped this album would be a 1-disc compilation of the likes of Bob Dylan and maybe some of the San Francisco bands. Sadly, it turned out to be a 6-disc set of a diverse range of musical styles prevalent throughout young America in the late 1920s and early 30s.
Some of this was good, the more typical blues songs much like Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. There were a number of Cajun songs which were listenable. There were also a number of fairly poor early gospel songs which were really hard to suffer through.
This is an important album historically, showing some of the earliest musical recordings, and chronicling the range of musical style, that could almost be mapped across the USA.
Interestingly, "King Kong Kitchie-Kitchie-Ki-Me-Oh" is a variation of the old Scottish song "Frog Went A-Courting", written about various French suitors to Scots nobles. I found it interesting that this song must have travelled across the Atlantic and been adapted to suit the tastes there.

Banana pants awesomeness
This movie is banana pants crazy and awesomely awful. Most of the musical score is one of those old auto keyboard settings on repeat. The production is terrible. It’s obvious some of the actors are reading their lines.

This movie is so ridiculously overrated and I have no idea as to why it was even nominated for awards. Why even show the beginning musical number if Gosling and Stone weren't even performing in it? This movie solely relied on Ryan Gosling being attractive enough to distract from the boring plot.
