Book desription: U. of Georgia Press, 2006. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. With a focus on contemporary singer-songwriters, independent scholar (and performer) Gruning presents an ethnographic account of the folk music community in the U.S. Drawing upon field research and interviews with musicians, fans, festival organizers, and others in the scene, he illuminates the conceptual issues that transformed people's notions about "folk" in the latter half of the 20th century. Some of the topics addressed include the impact of recording technology, the social organization of folk festivals, and the development of various sub-genres (such as women's music).
