Forget about that whole '80s revival thing you keep hearing about. It's the late '20s and early '30s that comprise the real decade du jour, at least in some musical circles. The Depression themed, country / bluegrass "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" album continues, against all odds, to be the nation's bestselling soundtrack. And this week at UCLA, an all star cast (well, an ensemble of all cult stars, at least) banded together to pay homage to the folk music of that same era. In a pair of epic concerts at the campus' Royce Hall, a cast of dozens -- including [[Beck]], Elvis Costello, [[Steve Earle]], [[Marianne Faithfull]], [[Todd Rundgren]], Philip Glass, [[Richard Thompson]], Daniel Lanois, and even [[Spinal Tap]] -- paid homage to the late Harry Smith, who compiled the Anthology of American Folk Music, a definitive canon of regional recordings from 1926 to '34. You can almost hear the rallying cry of a new generation: "Let's go Dust Bowling!" | Forget about that whole '80s revival thing you keep hearing about.
