Classic African-American Ballads From Smithsonian Folkways

Classic African-American Ballads From Smithsonian Folkways Recordings

Classic African-American Ballads is an uncommon sampling of an important, historic, and engaging slice of Americaâ€™s Black music heritage. The heyday of the Black ballad tradition (1890-1920) left a lasting strain of creativity and a monument to African American life of the time. Ranging from songs created from the heritage of the English ballad, to social commentary vilifying abusive white authority figures, to "blues ballads," this album reminds us of the enormity and constant evolution of African American musical tradition. 36-page booklet, 22 classic tracks! 67 minutes of music!
