Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads di John A. Lomax

nonfiction (music history). Marginally good for song collectors, but of definite historical import for sure (and kind of interesting to learn more about cowboy history).

Our Singing Country - A Second Volume Of American… di John A. Lomax

Sheet music (and some folk lyrics without music). More songs collected by Lomax, c. 1941, but in this second volume more than half come with sheet music, plus anecdotes from the folks contributing the songs. Though I probably won't learn more than a couple of these songs (since I neither attend "play parties" or belong to a chain gang), I do feel like it's another national treasure of historical import.

Folk Song USA di John A. Lomax

This compilation houses the psalms of America’s dead soul. It’s a spinning vortex, a time capsule, a grimy window showing a wide, open plain, a road map for accessing a mysterious, remote America – an America not yet stained filthy with strip malls and fast food chains and parking lots, untamed by instant coffee and plastic siding and double gulp sodas. This is a world filled with undocumented past, before the creeping reach of photography and television wires and laptops blasted all perspective of space and time.

These are songs sung in flophouses and beside campfires. Theses are songs about lovelorn mornings, sweating hot afternoons, dark nights pierced by lonesome train whistles. Amazing… (altro)
