Title: Folk Songs of the Southern Appalachians by Jean Ritchie, Ron Pen, Alan Lomax ISBN: 0-8131-0927-2 Publisher: University Press of Kentucky Pub. Date: June, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $17.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (2 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: No house arrangements in here!
Comment: I love this book because it preserves the rough edges that the music of everday people has. If JR learned the verse to a song that didn't rhyme, she didn't "fix" it. The melodies are often asymmetrical, the ballads often have odd twists to their stories, and the emotion is just pure.
If you're looking for a book of songs for the camp-fire, this may not be it. If you're looking for the real songs of Appalachia, look no further.
Rating: 3
Summary: Uncommon
Comment: As an amateur singer of folksongs, country, and "oldies", I was looking for a book with familiar tunes and lyrics. Although I only recognized a few of Ms. Ritchie's songs, I found the histories of each song very interesting. I took a chance and purchased the book, not sure of what I was getting. What I got was a nice read about the history of song, and a new interest in a person who obviously has a passion!
