[We don't normally announce Kickstarter Campaigns since there are just too many anymore to keep track of. However every once in a while, one comes along that we feel is exceptional and unique and therefore warrants attention. Jayme Stone's Alan Lomax Project is one of those.]
Jayme says, "I have produced and released five albums independently and know the process well. Making an album, especially one as ambitious as this, is the work of many people and the coming to fruition of thousands of hours of focus, persistence and love for the music. We have the most extraordinary team assembled – from musicians to engineers, designers to publicists – and I've worked with all of them extensively. I've never believed so deeply in a project and have the utmost confidence that together (YOU included!) we'll make an extraordinary album."
Focusing on songs collected by folklorist and field recording pioneer Alan Lomax, this "collaboratory" brings together some of North America's most distinctive and creative roots musicians to revive, recycle and re-imagine traditional music.

The repertoire includes African-American a cappella singing from the Georgia Sea Islands, Bahamian sea shanties, ancient Appalachian ballads, fiddle tunes and work songs collected from both well-known musicians and everyday folk: muleskinners, roustabouts, sawyers, prisoners, homemakers and schoolchildren.
