About This Item
New York: Columbia University Press. 1963. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. A near fine copy in very good dust jacket with wrinkling at head of spine. A book often ignored by collectors of blues books--perhaps because it has only one chapter on the blues--other chapters deal with important genres like work songs, street cries, field hollers, Louisiana Creoles, and more. Courlander also edited a series of records on Folkways devoted to Negro Folk Music of Alabama, asnd another LP on Tales from Africa. His The Drum and the Hoe was on the life and lore of the people of Haiti. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 324 pp .
