..to our complete listing of Books - American Folksong Anthologies

900 MILES: THE BALLADS, BLUES, AND FOLKSONGS OF CISCO HOUSTON edited by Moses Asch and Irwin Silber
A classic songbook from the Oak Archives, originally published in 1965. Cisco Houston was a balladeer and folksinger whose life and songs bridged generations. Guitar in hand, he traveled all over America, absorbing the sounds of his time, translating those sounds into folksongs. In 1961 his life was cut short by cancer. This collection contains 70 of Cisco's best arrangements and originals transcribed directly from records and tapes, including western songs, road songs, lonesome blues, and songs of hard work and loving women. Melody and lyrics with chord symbols. 96 pp.
