The cover Art of Field Recording: Volume I: 50 Years of Traditional American Music, Documented by Art Rosenbaum. Art of Field Recording Volume I is a four disc set with a 96 page book that contains essays and annotations by Art and over 100 illustrations and photographs by Art and his wife Margo. Art took a similar approach to Harry Smith in assembling the music: The discs are divided into Blues, Instrumental and Dance, Sacred, and a Survey disc that has a little bit of everything.
