Judge Jackson And The Colored Sacred Harp

BY JOE-DAN BOYD

Brief Description:
A biography, a personal memoir of the folk revival, a survey of writing about African American Sacred Harp singing, a selection of evocative photographs, and a CD that ranks among the most valuable and carefully compiled collections of historical Sacred Harp recordings ever assembled. John Bealle's introduction plays the role of the traditional "rudiments of music" section of a shape note hymnal, providing a concise and sensitive history of Sacred Harp singing, its diverse adherents, and its intersections with the folk revival. Book and CD (69 minutes).
