Filmmaker Murray Lerner – who, sadly, passed away earlier this month – accomplished this same kind of comprehensive artistry in his 1967 feature Festival, which presents a collage of moments Lerner shot at the famed Newport Folk Festival over the years 1963-66. He made a point of showing a wide array of the different kinds of acts that appeared at the festival, shifting unpredictably from folk to soul to spiritual to blues, to a woman who used her cheeks as a percussion instrument in song. This album was recorded c. 1968 at Golden Voice Recording by Jerry Milam and unheard until 2018.

The program’s first half was devoted to the Onward Brass Band, various freedom singers from the South, the Pennywhistlers and Arlo Guthrie.
