Summary: Good Study of Folk Music
Comment: Neil Rosenberg wrote the introduction and edited a series of articles on the place of revivalism within folk music. Revivalism refers to a number of movements within traditional music. It can refer to ways in which older forms and genres are repopularized, a common dynamic in folk music. Revivalism can also refer to ways in which those who grew up outside of a particular musical tradition become interested in a form of musical expression. This dynamic happens a great deal as, for example, teenagers from Philadephia became interested in old-time music during the 1960s. The book provides a great range of ways to think about revivalism, and it is an excellent historical study of folk music from the 1950s and 60s. Many of the writers take very different approaches and offer different perspectives on the music, and the work should stimulate lively discussion and more study of this facet of musical history. There is a lack of a unified way of pulling together the disparate threads of thought, but perhaps that is task that remains to be done by those at the cutting edge of folklore study.
