Traditional Music Of Beech Mountain North 1 / Var Traditional Music Of Beech Mountain North 1 / Var CD

These two recordings were made from field tapes recorded over a period of several years during which we enjoyed repeated visits to friends on Beech Mountain in northwestern North Carolina. When programming them, we found it appropriate to divide them as we did. On the first volume you will find a number of Child ballads and ancient songs, plus gospel songs from the days of the old camp meetings. 17 tracks, originally released in 1964.
