Janet Reno's Greatest Hits

Okay, not really.

But get this: Former attorney general Janet Reno is one of the compilers of Song of America, a three-cd box set of music that traces American history. And it looks pretty good, with songs from the Blind Boys of Alabama, John Wesley Harding, Freedy Johnston, BR549, Bettye LaVette, Old Crow Medicine Show, Janis Ian, Martha Wainwright, and (as they say) much, much more. Philly band Marah sings "John Brown's Body," for cryin' out loud. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued.
