Ola Belle Reed and Southern Mountain Music on the Mason-Dixon Line
Introduction by Clifford R. Murphy. Text by Henry Glassie, Clifford R. Murphy, Douglas Dawling Peach.
Ola Belle Reed (1916–2002) was one of the all-time greatest performers of Appalachian music. Ola Belle Reed and Southern Mountain Music on the Mason-Dixon Line combines Reed’s 1960s recordings, some of the earliest she ever made and available here for the very first time, with modern-day field recordings of her descendants and those she inspired within her Appalachian community. This deluxe edition highlights Reed’s deep repertoire—folk ballads, minstrel songs, country standards and originals—and traces the impact her music made and is still making today. The two-CD set is accompanied by a luxurious publication tracing Reed’s influence and the folklorists who have tracked it: Henry Glassie, who first heard Alex and Ola Belle play in 1966 at the back of the Campbell’s Corner general store, and Clifford R. Murphy, who, four decades later, recorded Reed’s modern successors in Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
