ARTIST: Jayme Stone's Lomax Project

GIG: Saturday morning at the Rubenstein Atrium, and Saturday evening at Subculture

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the great folk music preservationist Alan Lomax. Read John Schaefer's essay about all of the modern rock songs that were influenced by Lomax’s meticulous field recordings. The original songs themselves continue to live and breathe in exciting ways. The banjoist Jayme Stone has reinterpreted 19 of his favorites and given them new life, yet again. Here’s “Lazy John.”
