Book Reviews of Folk Songs of the Southern Appalachians as Sung by Jean Ritchie
Book Review: No house arrangements in here!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
