"absolutely incredible first-hand account" according to Joseph Broze. This is an absolutely amazing must-read account of Shirley Collins' journey with Alan Lomax throughout the 1950s American South. Great description of the country and atmosphere by a foreign and interested comrade. This is by all accounts a not-to-miss story of the blues, folk, and country music that existed at the time. If you are interested in ANY of these genres in any way, shape, or form, or the way this trip inspired Shirley to re-exa. A Beautiful, Fantastic Trip To a Lost America. What a beautiful, interesting book. I recently discovered the gorgeous music of Shirley Collins, and after much googling found out she had written a book!The book is half autobiographical narrative of her childhood and upbringing, and the other half a narrative of her travels with Alan Lomax across the south of America making field recordings. Her story is especially prescient giving the recent release of Lomax's entire catalogue online.T
Renowned English folk singer, Shirley Collins, met the famous American musical historian and folklorist, Alan Lomax at a party hosted by Ewan MacColl. In this highly personal and heart-rending account, she describes her year-long stint as Lomax's assistant and lover, and their diligent work uncovering the traditional music of America's heartland.The result is a finely woven tapestry of one woman's journey, both emotional and musical, and her discovery of a world of beauty and dignity, as well as deprivation and prejudice, amongst the folk musicians across the water in America.
