The Story
The Folksong Revival was a dynamic cultural event with its origins in the early 20th century. By the mid-1960s, it had captured American popular music and served to reintroduce the United States to its vernacular musical roots. Fortunately some of the legendary artists of the 1920s and 1930s were rediscovered. This illustrates the mingling of old and new within the framework of old-time, cajun, blues and folk music. Features Clark Kessinger, Kilby Snow, Jimmy Driftwood, Coon Creek Girls, Canray Fontenot & Alphonsos, Bois Sec Ardoin, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Mose Vinson, more. 88 min.
