"What is American roots music? Any definition must account for a kaleidoscope of genres from bluegrass to blues, western swing to jazz, soul and gospel to rock and reggae, Cajun to Celtic. It must encompass the work of artists as diverse as Alice Gerrard and Alison Krauss, George Thorogood and Sun Ra, Bela Fleck and Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown, the Blake Babies and Billy Strings. What do all these artists and music styles have in common? The answer is a record label born in the wake of the American folk revival and 1960s movement politics, formed around the eclectic tastes and audacious ideals of three recent college grads who lived, listened, and worked together. The answer is Rounder Records. For more than fifty years, Rounder has been the world's leading label for folk music of all kinds. David Menconi's book is the label's definitive history, drawing on previously untapped archives and extensive interviews with artists, Rounder staff, and founders Ken Irwin, Marian Leighton Levy, and Bill Nowlin. Rounder's founders blended ingenuity and independence with serendipity and an unfailing belief in the small-d democratic power of music to connect and inspire people, forging creative partnerships that resulted in one of the most eclectic and creative catalogs in the history of recorded music. Placing Rounder in the company of similarly influential labels like Stax, Motown, and Blue Note, this story is destined to delight anyone who cares about the place of music in American culture"--

Folk Tunes from the Women, is a tune book like no other! This is a bumper book of over 150 contemporary tunes from 100 composers from Britain and Ireland, all from different areas, traditions and backgrounds and has been curated by the Northumbrian piper and fiddle player Kathryn Tickell. There's a wide selection of Jigs, Hornpipes, Reels, Airs, Marches, Polkas, Waltzes, Mazurkas and a heap of tunes which don't fall into a natural category.All tunes are presented as melody lines with chord symbols, making it the most useful book for teachers and players alike."Folk Tunes from the Women is a beautiful book. It is important that a collection of tunes like this now exists, in a field that is largely male-dominated...The emotions reflected range from celebration to sorrow, and the melodies go from the more traditionally rooted to the more contemporary. They are helpfully categorized into groups (e.g. jigs, polkas) and are complete with chord symbols, which is fantastic for playing with others. There are illustrations scattered throughout, which along with the vibrant cover artwork are absolutely stunning. Folk Tunes from the Women would be a wonderful purchase for folk enthusiasts of any standard." Beth Penny, Just Flutes

Der Angelhaken leitet seine Form von seiner praktischen Absicht ab - einen Fisch zu fangen. Aber in Kulturen, in denen das Fischen eine Haupterwerbsquelle ist und schon immer war, wird die Herstellung von Angelhaken zu einer Kunst. "Angelhaken der pazifischen Inseln Vol. II" schließt den umfangreichen und tiefgehenden Diskurs des ersten Bandes ab. Zusammen sind sie das erste umfassende Nachschlagewerk über pazifische Angelhaken seit der Veröffentlichung von Harry Beasleys "Pacific Island Record: Fishhooks" von 1928, der in einer Auflage von nur 250 Exemplaren gedruckt wurde.Seitdem ist viel gelernt und entdeckt worden, und "Fish Hooks of the Pacific Islands" versammelt alles unter einem Titel mit umfassenden neuen Beobachtungen, Recherchen, Zuschreibungen, Identifizierungen und Farbfotografien. Diese Publikation ist das Ergebnis einer Zusammenarbeit privater Sammler, die sich gemeinsam der Kunst und dem Wissen der alten pazifischen Kulturen verschrieben haben. Bei der Erstellung dieses Buches haben sie eine unglaubliche Menge an Informationen sowie Bilder und Details der besten bekannten Exemplare aus Sammlungen auf der ganzen Welt zusammengetragen.

Den danske guldalder er et omstridt begreb i litteratur - og kunsthistorien, og professor Johnny Kondrup indleder sin bog med at nævne to synspunkter, han ofte er stødt på: For nogle betegner guldalderen et sublimt æstetisk og filosofisk højdepunkt, for andre indbegrebet af snæversynet reaktion, et stykke verdensfjern nostalgi. "For mit eget vedkommende har guldalderen været en kilde til interesse og fascination lige siden studietiden i 1970’erne, hvor det stort set fordelte sig sådan, at mine ’sorte’ lærere nærede det første synspunkt og de ’røde’ det andet. Men de interesserede sig alle sammen for perioden!"Om forfatterenJohnny Kondrup (f. 1955) er professor i nordisk litteratur ved Københavns Universitet. Han er medudgiver af Søren Kierkegaards forfatterskab og af N.F.S. Grundtvigs forfatterskab og ekspert i bl.a. dansk guldalder. Formand for Det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskabs bestyrelse.

"A visual storytelling celebration of American roots music in its rich variety through unseen and newly scanned photographs by the founder of the legendary Arhoolie Records"--

"It begins with sincere dedication and a cordial meeting of minds. Artists in place, at home in the shop, concentrate on their tasks, shaping clay or carving wood, weaving wool or painting canvas. Folklorists in motion, away on the road, concentrate on their tasks, watching, listening, learning. In time, differences diminish, friendships develop, and people unite in collaborative records of thought and action. Now listen to the artists of the Brazilian Northeast. Their work, they say, comes of continuity and creativity. Continuity runs along lines of learning toward social coherence. Creativity brings challenges and deep personal satisfaction. What they say and do in Brazil aligns with ethnographic evidence from throughout the world. This book is about that, about folk art as a sign of human unity. Folk Art by Henry Glassie and Pravina Shukla joins their earlier book, Sacred Art: Catholic Saints and Candomble Gods in Modern Brazil (2018), to describe the contemporary art of northeastern Brazil and exemplify a method for the study of traditional creation"--

The definitive book on legendary Swedist psych band, Träd, Gräs och Stenar. The story of Träd, Gräs och Stenar is also a defining story of alternative culture. Across multiple incarnations, the musicians of this iconic group (whose name translates to "Trees, Grass and Stones") have drawn on their roots in jazz and the avant-garde, the iconoclastic art and theater of the 1960s, and the back-to-the-land "green wave" movement to blaze a pioneering trail across fifty years of endlessly improvisational, resolutely DIY rock and roll jams. In this book, the collective's members tell their story for the first time, accompanied by a vast archive of photographs, newspaper clippings, posters, flyers, album covers, and paintings. With its in-depth oral history and astonishingly rich visuals, this book provides an insight into over five decades of internationally-renowned music innovation and countercultural history.

"This book is a history of guitar making in the US since the folk revival of the 1960s. Based largely on the author's interviews, it includes chapters on the rise of the modern independent luthier movement, recent developments at Martin, at Gibson, and at Taylor- especially regarding the use of technology and ways it is in tension with these companies' traditions and ways it honors their traditions-the changing, though still robust market, and the effect of foreign competition on American builders"--
