Cápsula do Tempo Perdido

John Avery Lomax was born in Goodman, Mississippi but grew up in Bosque County, Texas and spent his career at the University of Texas. He and his son Alan traveled the rural South with a recording machine documenting folk music, blues, work songs, and spirituals that no commercial recording company considered worth preserving. In an Angola Prison yard in 1933 they recorded Lead Belly. Their Library of Congress archive became the foundation of the American folk music revival that produced Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, and every folk and roots musician who came after. John Lomax grew up in Bosque County, Texas. American music exists in its current form because of what he did with a recording machine and a willingness to go places the music industry wouldn't. 🌺🎵
