'Masters of Old-time Country Autoharp' is available on CD and digital. Stream/download/purchase: Smithsonian Folkways: https://folkways.si.edu/masters-of-old-time-country-autoharp/american-folk/music/album/smithsonian Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/19HbIXaVhwl4YjPjhrSvbP?si=C1I9DQTVQdyZz3FuE5Hv8g The autoharp, invented in the 1870s and a fad in the 1890s, became a virtuoso instrument among the artists featured here as well as other players in the early to mid 20th century. Spirited breakdowns, sentimental and gospel songs—some played as instrumentals—and even a bluegrass song are presented here in this re-release of the only documentary of traditional Southern autoharp players. Includes 14 previously unissued tracks. Recorded, edited, and annotated by Mike Seeger. Song notes by Charles Wolfe.
