Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Stephen Foster is the trunk of the tree of American song. His blackface minstrel songs, including Oh! Susanna, Old Folks at Home (Way down upon the Swanee River), and My Old Kentucky Home, and his parlor ballads, such as Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair, and Beautiful Dreamer, have inspired composers, songwriters, and performers from Charles Ives and George Gershwin to Ray Charles and James Taylor. Foster devoted as much care and craft to his lyrics as he did to his timeless melodies.In this comprehensive new selection, acclaimed music historian Ken Emerson introduces and annotates the lyrics to more than thirty of Fosters best and bestknown songs. These masterpieces by Americas first fulltime professional songwriter, forebear of Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, Carole King, and Bob Dylan, have been so deeply absorbed into our culture that they are often assumed to be folk music. Alongside are fifty other 19thcentury American popular songs that influenced Foster or that he in turn influenced, from Home! Sweet Home! in the 1820s to Western Home (the original Home on the Range) in the 1870s.About the American Poets ProjectElegantly designed in compact editions, printed on acidfree paper, and textually authoritative, the American Poets Project makes available the full range of the American poetic accomplishment, selected and introduced by todays most discerning poets and critics.
