Reviews
''A collection of profiles on some of West Virginia's premier traditional musicians... the twenty-five pieces are culled from twenty-five years - 100 issues - of Goldenseal... These are not brief bio capsules, but long, well- written pieces that take the time and care to delve into the history of the musicians as well as painting portraits of unique personalities and a way of life that is all but history... Throughout the book are fine portraits and photographs.'' - Michael Lipton, Graffiti Entertainment Guide ''An important and entertaining new book.'' - Dave Peyton, Huntington Herald- Dispatch ''A fine book about music and much more, and an enjoyable read... The writers are many and varied... Without fail, they have a love and respect for the music and the musicians, and each brings a particular interest and point of view to the writing... Wonderful photographs throughout.'' -- Candie Carawan, Appalachian Journal ''From heavenly harmony to devilish fiddling, West Virginia's folk music is a treasure ... For the past 25 years, the story of West Virginia's traditional life has been deftly told in the pages of Goldenseal magazine. Now, the best of Goldenseal is gathered for the first time in [this] richly illustrated volume.'' - Williamson Daily News ''A wonderful compilation of articles on musicians taken from West Virginia's premier quarterly publication, Goldenseal, which focuses on traditional life and culture... Lilly has done a wonderful job selecting a core sample of music and musicians.'' - Sunday Gazette Mail ''With many nice photos, this is a really nice work that will provide much wonderful reading for anyone interested in the music of one of the most fascinating states of our union.'' - County Sales Newsletter ''Thanks to the efforts of Goldenseal editor, John Lilly, a musician himself, we are able to read, learn and ... remember folks who have touched many lives... This book is one of those reads that brings back memories, reminds us that beyond the music is a person who is just making it in the world like anyone else. This book is the living definition of folk music.'' - Bluegrass Unlimited ''A goldmine or facts and stories that discloses the musical soul of this important traditional American region... The most complete survey so far of West Virginia music, its practitioners, and its musical culture.'' -- Journal of American Folklore Documents the West Virginia tradition of mountain music by giving us a picture of life and music in that state as seen through the eyes (and ears) of a selection of its traditional musicians, some professionals and some not... Although each article is valuable by itself, this book is greater than the sum of its parts. Taken together, the recollections of these mostly older artists gives a vivid and colorful picture of rural life and culture now largely gone... A well-written look at different facets of one of our richest musical traditions... A worthy addition to this excellent series.'' - A.V. Shirk, The Old-Time Herald ''The level of writing is extremely high throughout, and the accounts of country living make fascinating reading. Well-known figures like the Lilly Brothers and Molly O'Day come to life, but so do many others who never recorded and rarely traveled from the Mountain State. Goldenseal's concern with West Virginia folk life ... makes the articles much more vivid than interviews one would normally find in music magazines.'' -- Duck Baker, Dirty Linen ''Part social history, part memoir, and always a delight to read, the book takes on a journey through a traditional culture on the cusp of dramatic change.'' -- Institute of Island Studies Bulletin

Synopsis
From fiddle tunes to folk ballads, from banjos to blues, traditional music thrives in the remote mountains and hollers of West Virginia. For a quarter century, Goldenseal magazine has given its readers intimate access to the lives and music of folk artists from across this pivotal state. Now the best of Goldenseal is gathered for the first time in this richly illustrated volume. Some of the country's finest folklorists take us through the backwoods and into the homes of such artists as fiddlers Clark Kessinger and U.S. Senator Robert Byrd, recording stars Lynn Davis and Molly O'Day, dulcimer master Russell Fluharty, National Heritage Fellowship recipient Melvin Wine, bluesman Nat Reese, and banjoist Sylvia O'Brien. The most complete survey to date of the vibrant strands of this music and its colorful practitioners, Mountains of Music delineates a unique culture where music and music making are part of an ancient and treasured heritage. The sly humor, strong faith, clear regional identity, and musical convictions of these performers draw the reader into families and communities bound by music from one generation to another. For devotees as well as newcomers to this infectiously joyous and heartfelt music, Mountains of Music captures the strength of tradition and the spontaneous power of living artistry., From fiddle tunes to folk ballads, from banjos to blues, traditional music thrives in the remote mountains and hollers of West Virginia. For a quarter century, Goldenseal magazine has given its readers intimate access to the lives and music of folk artists from across this pivotal state. Now the best of Goldenseal is gathered for the first time in ......

- i***y (712)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifié2 volumes of Pogo comic strips, new and in perfect condition. Price was good, but shipping cost ($30 for two books) seems like a lot for how long it took to get delivered (23 days from Illinois to Spain). Also, seller communication was not great. First two times I wrote, their response did not address question. Third response explained at length about the private courier service they use and how it should take 1-10 business days to deliver. Maybe they should consider a different courier service.
- o***l (313)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernière annéeAchat vérifiéThe item was described to a Tee. Very good communication. Shipping was just a little slow. The box the set of books comes in was damaged (bent corners) due to packaging. Not a deal breaker because the grand kids will not store in that box; might be if it were to be given as a present. The three books in the box arrived in prefect shape. I WOULD purchase from greatbookprices1 again in the future. ThanksConstruction Site Board Books Set, Hardcover by Rinker, Sherri Duskey; Lichte...

- r***_ (108)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifié*Same as the other review* Purchased two box sets from this seller with one being advertised as "like new" but was delivered as if it was actually new. Shipping time was a little slow, takes about 10 days to ship out and it takes a while to get through the system. But the packing was great and I'm still overall happy with my purchase.
