À propos de cette écoute
In America over the Water, celebrated English folksinger Shirley Collins offers an affecting account of her year-long stint as assistant to legendary musical historian and folklorist Alan Lomax. Together, they travelled to Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Georgia, discovering Mississippi Fred McDowell and many others, in their tireless work to uncover the traditional music of America's heartland.
Blending the personal story of Shirley Collins' relationship with Lomax and offering a unique first-hand account of a country on the brink of the civil rights era, America over the Water cuts right to the heart of the blues in a fascinating account of Collins' and Lomax's ground-breaking journey across the Southern states of the USA to record the music that started it all.
Originally published more than 15 years ago, this definitive edition includes a new introduction by Shirley Collins.
