GUEST,merripan Appalachian Music Request (4) Apallachian Music Request 13 Jun 02


Recently I found a movie I heartily enjoyed called "Songcatcher". For those who haven't heard of it, it was little known when released about 8-10 months ago (Even with Aiden Quinn in it), and I could only find one copy of it in Blockbuster (which shows just how popular it was). Unlike it's later-set counterpart Oh Brother, Songcatcher followed the tracings of Apallachian music during the turn of the century, as seen by a woman trying to find her way into a "man's world" of University music teaching.

There were some great songs in there, and I wonder if anyone has a list of more Apallachian music (lyrics included) that I could find to learn. I know that the Digitrad has some, but sometimes it's hard to pick out which are "new" versions and which are "older" versions.
