"Vurdering: Good" - "25 ballads, "the more calamitous or scandalous, the better", from Seeger, Guthrie, Lead Belly, Dock Boggs, Hobart Smith, Pink Anderson and many more. Superb 40-page booklets with extensive notes and photographs makes this collection an essential bargain".

"Another brilliant cultural treasure by Smithsonian Folkways sure to delight roots music afficionados, 'Classic American Ballads' is drawn from the hundreds of folk albums recorded by Moses Asch ... This extraordinary collection features 25 ballads, including songs by both blues and folk artists and songsters ... Like virtually all Smithsonian Folkways collections, this album is not just a historical gem, it is packed with sheer musical pleasure".
