Book Reviews of the Old-Time String Band Songbook
Customer Review: This is a gem of a songbook!
Summary: 5 Stars
I rate this highly because its so damn informative. It's chock full of old string band standards from the twenties through the forties. Most, if not all, have been recorded at one time or another by the New Lost City Ramblers. It's geared toward those who are already musicians, although the novice instrumentalist can get a lot from it. It has very little in terms of tablature, but there is tuning and key information so you can strum along and figure out the accompaniment. In the introduction the book clearly points out that the best way to learn to play this music is by listening to the records if you can find them. In any event, if you're a fan of old-timey music, this book is something you have to have.
