8vo, pp. xii (including preliminary blank), [4], 278; illustrations and music within text; a very good copy in original black cloth, gilt, corners slightly bumped.First edition. This book continues Odum's interest, demonstrated in a minor way in the above work, in the folk songs and oral history of Southern African-Americans. Odum and Johnson present lyrics divided by category, including 'blues', 'chain gang', 'bad man ballads', 'minstrel' and 'religious'. The 'typical tunes' are printed towards the end, including using 'phono-photographic records' to document the yodel and use of vibrato, which implies that Odum and Johnson used recording equipment. This work is evidence of Odum's changing attitude towards race over his academic career (his collaborator Johnson is generally considered to have been sympathetic to the African-American cause), which has led to either the partial reconciliation or indeed the simple overlooking of Odum's earlier work.…
