Deep River Of Song (South Carolina)
Various Artists / Rounder Universal
By Seema 

This collection of songs were recorded by John A. Lomax from 1936 to 1939. These recordings were done in South Carolina, capturing the essence of the people that lived there during that time. You will find twenty-nine tracks sung by various artists. The music is very simple yet filled with emotion. The artists have nothing but their voices to make the tunes, with minimal instrumentation, if any. Songs to check out are "Keep Workin' On a Building," "Listen To The Roll," "Got The Keys To My Kingdom," "Shoo Robin" and "Honey In The Rock."
