LOST SOUNDS: BLACKS AND THE BIRTH OF THE RECORDING INDUSTRY, 1891-1922
Photo
2 CDs, "54 tracks by 43 artists, 60 pages of in-depth commentary and analysis, and 1 Grammy Award in 2006 for Best Historical Album! A monumental achievement that stretches back to the faint beginnings of commercial recordings and travels to the brink of the Jazz Age to trace the contributions of black artists on American records." WARNING: Although this is an award-winning historical document, it's also an artifact of popular culture of the late 19th-early 20th century, and some of the songs here depict the worst kind of racial stereotypes common to the era."
