The traditional songs, dances, and legends of ordinary people in
the United States have long served as a means of communication and
a source of entertainment. Each group brought its unique song and
dance music to America: The Irish brought jigs and reels, the
African-American slaves work and dance songs, Hispanics their
corridors and polkas, Cajuns their waltzes and two-steps. The
interaction between these groups created the many rich hybrids that
are American folk music. Featuring 36 photographs, a glossary,
discography, and chronology, ""American Popular Music: Folk"" is an
essential resource on this vital and influential American artform.
The entries include: The Archive of American Folk Song; Moses Asch;
Joan Baez; Harry Chapin; Bob Dylan; Fairport Convention; Woody
Guthrie; The Irish Rovers; John and Alan Lomax; Eck Robertson; Pete
Seeger; Townes Van Zandt; Lucinda Williams; John W. Work; and many
others.
