Description:
Trade paperback With CD Tight binding Unmarked text Includes CDBeginning in the 1950s, folklorist Edward "Sandy" Ives conducted fieldwork in Prince Edward Island, gathering first-hand the evidence of a rich and varied folk culture: its folksongs. Drive Dull Care Away is a beautifully written memoir of how he collected these songs. Set within his story are lyrics, music, and annotations for 59 of these songs. An accompanying CD, remastered from Dr. Ives's original field recordings, provides readers with examples of a traditional style of performing that has now largely vanished. In Drive Dull Care Away, Sandy Ives integrates the songs themselves, the culture that fostered them, the singers, and, for the first time, the folklorist. In so doing, this master storyteller creates a memorable portrait of a traditional culture on the cusp of dramatic change.
