First published in 1867, this landmark book represented the first systematic effort to collect and preserve the songs sung by the plantation slaves of the Old South. To ensure authenticity, the editors notated most of the melodies and words directly from the singers themselves. The result was a rare musical treasury containing complete music and lyrics for over 130 songs, arranged by geographical region.
Among them are: Roll, Jordan, Roll; Jehovah, Hallelujah; I hear from Heaven to-day; Michael, row the boat ashore; Turn sinner, turn O; Nobody knows the trouble I've had; No Man can hinder me; Heave away; Charleston Gals; I'm gwine to Alabamy; I want to die like-a Lazarus die; Belle Layotte; On to Glory Jacob's Ladder; My Father, how long?; Musieu Bainjo; Lean on the Lord's side; God got plenty o' room.
The book presents the melody lone and all the known verses to each song. The editors also include directions for singing, along with a commentary on each song's history, its possible variations, what some of its key references mean and other pertinent details. A new preface to the Dover edition by Harold Courlander appraises the book's importance in American musical and cultural history.

It Works!!
Size: 5.1 Ounce (Pack of 2)
EXCELLENT!! I have severely dry hands in the winter, cracks in skin. Very difficult to find a product that works for me. This is the product! Thank you. Please continue to carry it. No scent, which I like. Just the right amount of thickness. My hands feel so much better.

Younger looking.

The lotion makes the skin look and feel soft and smooth when you apply it after getting out of the shower. Looks young and healthy. We both use this product. For the value spent we will continue to buy it. The scent is lite and wonderful.
