1950s Music A Hot-Bed of Musicians: Traditional Music in the Upper New River Valley-Whitetop Region by Paula Hathaway Anderson-Green, X In the Blue Ridge Mountains along the Virginia-North Carolina border, an extraordinarily rich musical heritage survives and flourishes. Even before the legendary Bill Monroe coined the term "bluegrass" in the mid-1950s, the traditional music of this area was coming into its own as a distinctive style. Early performers from the 1920s through the 1950s, many of whom migrated northward during the Great Depression, popularized the music they had grown up hearing, thereby preserving and celebrating the cultural legacy of their home region. In A Hot-Bed of Musicians, Paula Anderson-Green tells the stories of several of these legendary performers and instrument makers from the Upper New River Valley-Whitetop Mountain region, including Ola Belle Campbell Reed, Albert Hash, and Dave Sturgill. These men and women began to bring the music of Appalachia to a wider audience well before Nashville became the center of country music. Making extensive use of interviews, the book reveals the fascinating experiences and enduring values behind the practice of old-time music. This musical heritage remains an indispensable component of Appalachian culture, and Anderson-Green traces the traditions down to the present generation of musicians there. Written for anyone with an interest in mountain music, this book focuses on performers from Alleghany and Ashe Counties in North Carolina and Carroll County and Grayson County in Virginia. It includes a comprehensive appendix of place names and music venues as well as annotated lists of musicians and the songs they have performed.
Reggae: The Story of Jamaican Music In 1962, when Jamaica gained independence to the electrifying soundtrack of ska, no one foresaw the impact its music would have on the world. Now, Reggae: The Story of Jamaican Music, as seen on Bravo, traces the story of how this Caribbean island conquered the world through its music. With interviews and commentary from reggae legends as well as people on the ground, Lloyd Bradley takes up the story from the late 1950s and the development of ska, then follows the music's journey overseas in the 1960s. But it was in the 1970s that reggae exploded into an international phenomenon with the super-stardom of Bob Marley and artists like Burning Spear, Jimmy Cliff, and Third World. Since then, reggae has continued to reinvent itself as a powerful musical and cultural force. As he charts reggae's evolution, Bradley pays tribute to musicians, performers, producers, deejays, and fans--as well as Caribbean music's tireless reinventions from ska to rock steady, reggae to roots to the new roots and dancehall of today. Capturing all the vitality of the music are 50 stunning photos as well as 60 images drawn from four decades of Jamaican music--many never before published. A vibrant celebration of a country and its music.
