Portland guitarist and composer Marisa Anderson draws on blues, gospel, country and experimental music. Released May 22, 2026, on Thrill Jockey, The Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music brings together nine interpretations of music from Harry Smith’s record collection, selected from places the United States has been in conflict with since 1970. “Sarvi Simin” adapts N. Ali-Zade’s Badakhshan rubob performance from a 1977 Melodiya release. Anderson plays electric guitar and accordion, with Gisela Rodríguez Fernández on violin. All nine tracks are certified under the Certificate of Embodied Production.
