Description
Before America’s folk music could be preserved, someone had to go out and find it. In this episode, we explore the remarkable life of John Lomax—the teacher, folklorist, and song collector who traveled thousands of miles recording the voices and music of ordinary Americans. From cowboy ballads on the Texas frontier to prison work songs in the Deep South, Lomax helped save thousands of folk songs that might otherwise have been lost forever. Along the way, he discovered legendary musicians like Lead Belly and helped create one of the most important archives of American music in history.
Join us as we uncover the story of the man who preserved the soundtrack of America.
