ReviewsIncluded in Wire's "50 Records of the Year" 2000., "...More lives have been touched by the music in these volumes than almost any other source. Dig in and dig it.", "...Features 28 long-lost ballads and social music recorded between 1928 and 1940....sequenced as Smith originally intended...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...This final volume is based on his 'content analysis' of the post-1932 Depression period....all the songs are just plain bizarre and have recurring or interwoven themes....it's the CD gift of the season for those in the know.", "...Decades of crackle and fuzz have become inextricable parts of these songs, ghost channels that seem to calling directly over time, a little ruptured window onto another world. We can literally hear the sound of a world slowly retreating into the murk of history...", "...Depression-era and reflects the old folkways' collapse. From Robert Johnson to the Carter Family to a pre-bluegrass Bill Monroe - Smith's ear for greatness was uncanny." - Rating: A, "...Smith's careful construction compels the listener to experience the album as a whole....this formidable work...is likely to be remembered as one of 2000's finest archival recordings.", 4 Stars Out of 5-"...Lavish....Smith Was a Master of the Segue...And Had a Prophet's Ear..."
