Book Reviews of The American Songbag

Book Review: ...a grain of salt
Summary: 2 Stars

I purchased this book partly [because of what others ere saying.] The lyrics of the obscure selections from American popular music are of some value but the arrangements of the music and the tune transcriptions are terrible. This is not a book to buy if you are looking for music.
