A 2001 Boxset from Rounder Records 60 odd tracks covering music genres from early American Folk, Country, Bluegrass, Zydeco, Cajun, Blues...
I learned a lot just having this playing in the background.
Roots music and some not so much, but with a definitive link back to to it.
Klezmer Conservatory Band, Tish Hinojosa, Slaid Cleaves, IIIrd Tyme Out,
I never heard of them either, but they more than hold their own beside Joe Ely, Dave Van Ronk, Boozoo Chavis, Norman Blake, Robert Nighthawk & Carey Bell...
