A discussion of early recordings of folk music and how that lead to the American Folk Revival of the 1950s and 60s. Including songs from The Carter Family, The Kingston Trio, and Bob Dylan.
Rumor has it, when NASA launched the Voyager satellite in 1977, they included a Golden Record with 90 minutes of Earth music . So just in case aliens intercept the satellite, they'll maybe be able to hear some examples of what was meaningful to us Humans. For these first few episodes, we are curing our own Golden Record, one disc for each decade, starting with the 1950's (where NASA pretty much left off). Enjoy! https://ia601508.us.archive.org/1/items/rrhs011950sbestof1/RRHS%2001%201950s%20Best%20of%201.mp3
