{"product_id":"fiddle-tunes-from-mississippi","title":"Fiddle Tunes from Mississippi","description":"In 2015 University Press of Mississippi published \u003ci\u003eMississippi Fiddle Tunes and Songs from the 1930s\u003c\/i\u003e by Harry Bolick and Stephen T. Austin to critical acclaim and commercial success. Roughly half of Mississippi's rich, old-time fiddle tradition was documented in that volume and Harry Bolick has spent the intervening years working on this book, its sequel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Beginning with Tony Russell's original mid-1970s fieldwork as a reference, and later working with Russell, Bolick located and transcribed all of the Mississippi 78 rpm string band recordings. Some of the recording artists like the Leake County Revelers, Hoyt Ming and His Pep Steppers, and Narmour \u0026amp; Smith had been well known in the state. Others, like the Collier Trio, were obscure. This collecting work was followed by many field trips to Mississippi searching for and locating the children and grandchildren of the musicians. Previously unheard recordings and stories, unseen photographs and discoveries of nearly unknown local fiddlers, such as Jabe Dillon, John Gatwood, Claude Kennedy, and Homer Grice, followed. The results are now available in this second, companion volume, \u003ci\u003eFiddle Tunes from Mississippi: Commercial and Informal Recordings, 1920-2018\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Two hundred and seventy musical examples supplement the biographies and photographs of the thirty-five artists documented here. Music comes from commercial recordings and small pressings of 78 rpm, 45 rpm, and LP records; collectors' field recordings; and the musicians' own home tape and disc recordings. Taken together, these two volumes represent a delightfully comprehensive survey of Mississippi's fiddle tunes.","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52635709407599,"sku":"9781496835895","price":329.48,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/1496835891.jpg?v=1770216012","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/fiddle-tunes-from-mississippi","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
