@Lucius1958 The bass was added by Levi for their commercial in which they used the recording. The actual recording is the real deal. Try to find the original version.

The booklet from the CD set "Poetry On Record: 98 Poets Read Their Work (1888-2006)" notes that the identity of the speaker cannot be verified. It is believed to be Whitman, but no hard evidence exists to substantiate. On the circumstantial side, it is Whitman's poem, and he was living at the time Edison was conducting his sound experiments. Sentiment prompts me to believe it's him.

@youseaward That ad almost ruined this for me.

Is it really Walt himself? Apparently so. I was surprised too... seeing at Amazon his name listed on the 4cds set "Poetry On Record: 98 Poets Read Their Work (1888-2006)". That's when I checked here & found this.
Will wonders... new and old... never cease! What year was it Edison did his Mary had a little lamb? Guess this must come from just a few years later. - By all sense of rightness this should be a release from Caedmon, but in fact the releasing label is 'Shout! Factory'.

No way: far too much bass response.
This is not an acoustic recording from 1890 - it is a forgery.
