Episode 4 talked a lot about how Smith's anthology has had a lot of influence on modern musicians. I think that this just goes to show that the music that was recorded will withstand time and is a very crucial element in defining just where certain musical styles come from today.
I enjoyed the music in this episode, particularly the Canon Jug Stomper's "Minglewood Blues". There was also a bit of music played towards the very end of the episode that was interesting. It was hard for me to distinguish the style because it seemed to have both blues and country influences...it was very rhythmic like the blues but also incorporated banjo. I thought this was particularly cool because it shows the integration of both musical genres and the influence they had on one another.
