Dust to Digital’s new boxset is a watershed release representing the life’s work of William Ferris, an audio recordist, filmmaker, folklorist, and teacher with an unwavering commitment to establish and to expand the study of the American South.
The latest offering to come from Dust to Digital is a goldmine: Folksongs of Another America: Field Recordings from the Upper Midwest, 1937–1946. A groundbreaking documentary project — 5 CDs of newly-restored, rare music; a new documentary film on DVD; and a richly-annotated book to go with them.
We take a look at the world of the 78rpm collectors through two videos featuring leading collectors in the field: Ian Nagoski and Jonathan Ward. Don’t blame me if you get the bug!
More new releases from the Aladdin’s Cave of musical wonders known as Dust-to-Digital including newly re-mastered Alan Lomax recordings from Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman.
