Shoutout to illustrator/graphic designer Taylor Rushing by way of the @Folkways newsletter for naming Harry’s Kiowa Peyote Meeting as one of his favorite cover designs from the label!

5/5 Paramount Records is not (yet) in DAHR so those sides aren’t included. Nothing more needs to be said about Harry Smith’s AAFM that hasn’t been said better elsewhere, but seek out @dusttodigital’s Harry Smith B-Sides which has the flip sides of all the 78s in the Anthology.
