Her compelling account of the folk music boom of the mid-twentieth century and the development of "public sector" folklore includes family friends Ruth Crawford Seeger and Carl Sandburg, fellow Almanac Singers Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, and other musicians and artists.

75-47.....our price $19.95 buy - ROBERT JOHNSON: LOST AND FOUND
by Barry Lee Pearson and Bill McCulloch - With just forty-one recordings to his credit, Robert Johnson (1911-38) is a giant in the history of blues music. Johnson's vast influence on twentieth-century American music, combined with his mysterious death at the age of twenty-seven, has allowed speculation and myths to obscure the facts of his life. Pearson and McCulloch traced the paper trail of the Johnson myth through the decades and found that white critics and promoters were telling tall tales about him while he was still alive. They compare conflicting accounts of Johnson's life, weighing them against interviews with blues musicians and others who knew the man. Through their extensive research they uncover a life every bit as compelling as the fabrications and exaggerations that have sprung up around it. 160 pp.

by Tiny Robinson, Lead Belly photos - John Lomax, the esteemed folk music anthropologist, discovered Leadbelly serving time for murder in 1934. He realized he was a walking anthology of African-American music, and arranged for him to come to New York. He became a sensation, drawing celebrities to his concerts. His influence on later musicians was massive: Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, Van Morrison, Robert Plant & Beck have all paid their respects. This is a treasure trove of unpublished photographs, news clippings, concert programs, personal correspondence (including letters from Woody Guthrie), record albums, awards and other memorabilia recently retrieved from a basement trunk in New York. An intense overview of the glory and humiliations of his life. Recommended. Hardcover, 252 pp.
