Title: Ugly Americans
Product review: Jeez, so sorry that actual, authentic Italian folk music doesn't go with your "authentic" Olive Garden appetites!! The ignorance, the insular isolationism of the average American never ceases to amaze. For gosh sakes, are you disappointed that Alan Lomax's recordings of Appalachian folk songs and Delta field hollers don't sound more like Camptown Races??Lomax was a musical anthropologist, whose avocation was recording the indigenous music of global cultures, of which this recording is an example par excellence. The reviewers on these pages might be more at home with a record by Jerry Vale or, perhaps, a monkey and an organ grinder. Apparently that is what passes for "authentic" Italian music in America's dubious world view.
