Music from the South

featuring Clark Kessinger, Kilby Snow, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Mose Vinson, Napolean Strickland, Jimmy Driftwood, Canray Fontenot, Alphonsos "Bois Sec" Ardoin, Ed and Lonnie Young and others

The Folksong Revival was a dynamic cultural event with its origins in the early 20th century. By the mid-1960s, it had captured American popular music, inspired a generation of folklorists, and served to reintroduce the United States to its vernacular musical roots. Fortunately some of the legendary artists of the 1920s and 1930s were rediscovered and performed at festivals and concerts. This DVD illustrates well the mingling of old and new within the framework of old-time, cajun, blues and folk music. It focuses on traditional instruments, i.e. the ancient mouth bow, autoharp, fiddle, banjo, accordion, diddley-bow, as well as the piano and guitar.
