## Description

What happens when a 78 collector marries a collector of antique photographs? Lead Kindly Light: recordings of rural Southern music: old time, string band music from Appalachia, extremely rare country blues and African American gospel singing from 1924-1939. a portrait of the rural American South between the dawn of the twentieth century and World War II, Lead Kindly Light brings together two CDs of traditional music from early phonograph records and a fine hardcover book of never-before-published vernacular photography. North Carolina collectors Peter Honig and Sarah Bryan have spent years combing back roads, from deep in the Appalachian mountains to the cotton and tobacco lowlands, in search of the evocative music and images of the pre-War South. The music of Lead Kindly Light presents outstanding lesser-known recordings by early stars of recorded country music, as well as rarely- and never-reissued treasures by obscure country, blues, and gospel artists. The photographs, mainly images of the rural and small-town South, are richly textured depictions of family life, work, and fun, and the often accidental beauty of the vernacular snapshot. 159 photographs from the collection of Sarah Bryan reproduced in full color. 46 audio recordings from the 78 RPM record collection of Peter Honig. 176-page hardcover book with 2 CDs. 8.5 inches x 6.5 inches. Debossed and tip-on cover.

*by M***A on February 16, 2015*

This book was so cool. I got it for my boyfriend as a gift and he stayed up all night listening to the CDs. The pictures were very cool as well. The only issue that I had was that the book looked a little beat up when it arrived. The corners were all bent in and the shrink wrap was torn, exposing some of the fabric book cover. It did look a little bit dirty, but I didn't mind it too much. I'm still super happy I bought the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vintage music and photos.

This is a wonderful collection.
