      I didn't read the whole book; I skimmed a lot of the text and skipped ahead to the music. There's a lot to discover in here. There are a few (now) popular songs everyone knows and loves, alongside (equally good) songs you've probably never heard of. But I find most of the songs are different versions of songs I know -- such as "Amazing Grace" with an unrecognizable melody, or "Yankee Doodle" with words about fighting the Civil War (and no mention of macaroni).The book is sort of torn between being a songbook for general readers and being a sort of reference for people with a scholarly interest in American folk songs; whether it's the best of both worlds or the worst, I guess depends on what you're looking for. The Lomaxes combined different versions of songs, picking the bits they happened to think were best (not most representative), which makes for more of a popular songbook than anything else. But they also leave out any harmonization (ironically, for the sake of not editing), and they include songs which have no written music and songs which cannot be notated (but they approximate notating them anyway), so there's a lot of content which is useless as a songbook but potentially interesting as a reference work.That duality has a lot to do with why I like the work of the Lomaxes. They were the sort of people who wrote arrangements for their field recordings. For people like me who are just interested in good music, not in "scholarly" accuracy, it's perfect.
