Songs from the Country. This book gives you a taste of country life in its many dimensions, from hard-working songs to rural lullabies. It includes rich traditionals as well as many songs by contemporary songwriters.
For several years we have been gathering together some of our favorite songs from the country, and this volume is the result...most of the songs we've collected in these pages spring from a rural viewpoint. They tell of growing and harvesting, of weather and winds and seasons, of hard work and of pleasure...We invite you to explore this collection...we hope they give you as much pleasure as they have given us!"
