Publisher's Synopsis
Introducing American Folk Music examines folk and closely related grassroots music, such as gospel, western swing, and folk-rock. The book covers the diverse strains of American folk music - Latin, Native American, African, French-Canadian and Cajun - and offers a chronology of the development of these musics in the United States. Each new copy of the text comes packaged with a free audio CD containing recordings to accompany all the listening guides.
