robinia Are hymns also folk music hmmmmm? (41) RE: Are hymns also folk music hmmmmm? 31 Jan 05


Anyone who doubts that hymns may be folk music should listen to Lucy Simpson on Folk Legacy's "Sharon Mountain Harmony" --   in fact the whole record (including Mary Alice and Peter Amidou's "Turtle Dove") is a real treasure (and I speak here as a hard core traditionalist !). Of course, George Pullen Jackson (Spiritual Folk Songs of North America) and Ruth Crawford Seeger (American Folk Songs for Christmas) have been telling us that for a long time.....
