DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe selection of songs was designed to give players a repertoire of the most common played tunes, as well as examples of the most commonly used techniques. The GUITAR collection contains a classic Bill Monroe tune Big Mon and 24 traditional tunes, ranging from Arkansas Traveler, Turkey in the Straw, Old Joe Clark, Sailor's Hornpipe, and Sally Goodin, to the less familiar Whiskey Before Breakfast and others. The book also contains a CD with each song recorded in a such a way that you can pan to hear the lead instrument alone, the backing track alone, or the two combined.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe present compilation of ballads from the Mexican states of Guerrero and Oaxaca documents one of the world’s great traditions of heroic song, a tradition that has thrived continuously for the last hundred years. The 107 corridos presented here, gathered during ethnographic research over a period of twenty-five years in settlements on Mexico’s Costa Chica and Costa Grande, offer a window into the ethos of heroism among the cultures of Mexico's southwestern coast, a region that has been plagued by recurrent cycles of violence. John Holmes McDowell presents a richly annotated field collection of corridos, accompanied by musical scores and transcriptions and translations of lyrics. In addition to his interpretation of the corridos’ depiction of violence and masculinity, McDowell situates the songs in historical and performance contexts, illuminating the Afro-mestizo influence in this distinctive population.

Frank Dobie's ramblings in northern Mexico. Much of the charm of these tales comes from the keen understanding and genuine sympathy of such collectors.

Included are a discography, a detailed bibliography of corrido collections, and several photographs of soldaderas from the internationally famous Augustin Casasola collection.
