From the library website:The Songcatchers offers a contemporary perspective on the role that folk music played during the years of the Great Depression, demonstrating the impact that songwriters, performers, and folklorists had on the development of American music and on the importance of musicians and songwriters creating music that commented on salient social and political issues still relevant today. The educational presentation provides an overview of the musical instruments used in American folk music as well as an introduction to the music of Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, and the Carter Family, as well as folklorists such as Alan Lomax.
