I posted this because I want people to know about the music and the artists - the fact that it was written by a NY Times guy is irrelevant - he has nothing to do with Judith Miller.

What do you think of the artists, and in particular, do people thing that these particular box sets are worthy. That is what I want to know

i would love to post an intelligent opinion but i won't go over there anymore. Punkt, Ende.

but YOU could do me a favor and copy their suggestions here. though i have a feeling that they're aimed for the mainstream.

A Life Less Lived: The Gothic Box - Rhino

(1927-1934)The material gets another go-round from musicians including Beck, Elvis Costello, Wilco, Beth Orton and Steve Earle, recorded at concerts organized by the producer Hal Willner in 1999 and 2001. Whether the arrangements are folky (Geoff Muldaur) or swathed in noise (the avant-jazz trombonist Roswell Rudd with Sonic Youth)
