It is a fresh approach to various aspects of folk music, including collectors and scholars, as well as professional performers, transatlantic influences, the changing nature of public acceptance, and much more. The two sides of the folk tradition are examined--both as popular and commercial expressions. Throughout, sidebars offer studies of key folk performers (including Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan), record labels, and related issues to place the general discussion in context. A comprehensive bibliography and discography provide resources for further research. 650 0 Folk music |zUnited States |xHistory and criticism. |=^A136350 650 0 Folk music |zGreat Britain |xHistory and criticism. |=^A292475 830 0 Routledge student reference. |=^A693363 830 0 Basics (Routledge (Firm)) |=^A611142 994 C0 |bERE 596 3 998 1044985
