A musician, documentarian, scholar, and one of the founding members
of the influential folk revival group the New Lost City Ramblers,
Mike Seeger (1933-2009) spent more than fifty years collecting,
performing, and commemorating the culture and folk music of white
and black southerners, which he called ""music from the true
vine."" In this fascinating biography, Bill Malone explores the
life and musical contributions of folk artist Seeger, son of
musicologists Charles and Ruth Crawford Seeger and brother of
folksingers Pete and Peggy Seeger. Malone argues that Seeger, while
not as well known as his brother, may be more important to the
history of American music through his work in identifying and
giving voice to the people from whom the folk revival borrowed its
songs. Seeger recorded and produced over forty albums, including
the work of artists such as Libba Cotten, Tommy Jarrell, Dock
Boggs, and Maybelle Carter. In 1958, with an ambition to recreate
the southern string bands of the twenties, he formed the New Lost
City Ramblers, helping to inspire the urban folk revival of the
sixties. Music from the True Vine presents Seeger as a gatekeeper
of American roots music and culture, showing why generations of
musicians and fans of traditional music regard him as a mentor and
an inspiration.
