On a Rock in the Middle of the Ocean: Songs and Singers in Tory Island

Product Description Product DescriptionTaking as its subject the small Gaelic-speaking community of Tory Island off the Donegal coast of Ireland, On a Rock in the Middle of the Ocean tries to answer the deceptively simple question of why people sing. The book focuses on aspects of song transmission and performance, showing how early exposure to musical culture led certain individuals to be singled out and given special encouragement to express themselves. Individual desire and ability to overcome the rigors of social scrutiny are important factors in the development of an active public performer. In a special study of one song, author Lillis ? Laoire shows how the song itself emerges as a mediator of dilemmas and tensions in island life. In a meticulous exposition of the links between music, text, and performance, the vicissitudes of island life are revealed while these tensions are alleviated by singing humorous ribald lyrics to provide a deliberate contrast. Comparisons are drawn to argue that the interpretation of songs to reveal particular worlds of meaning is a widespread human activity, found in similar configurations at both global and local levels. In Tory's context, the book further asserts that such mediation contributes to a strongly realized sense of identity and historical continuity among the islanders. The book includes an audio CD of folk music from Tory Island, featuring traditional ballads, tunes, and dances.

The Memphis Blues Again: Six Decades of Memphis Music Photographs

Product Description Product DescriptionMemphis, the legendary birthplace of the blues, has throbbed with the sounds of some of the greatest American popular music in the twentieth century: from ragtime and jazz, through the blues, r&b, and rock and roll, to gospel, soul, and funk. And for over fifty years Ernest Withers has documented the Memphis music scene in and around Beale Street. So many of the great musicians and performers are included: W. C. Handy, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Ike and Tina Turner, Al Green, Isaac Hayes, and many more. And Withers photographed them in situ: in the dancehalls, recording studios, auditoriums, churches, and streets of Memphis. These photographs are a fundamental visual archive of the musical legacy of Memphis—and one powerful aspect of the photographic legacy of Ernest Withers. The photographs are reproduced in stunning duotone plates and were selected by award-winning author Daniel Wolff who also wrote the introduction and the extended captions. See Ray Charles playing piano at the WDIA Goodwill Revue, Elvis Presley bumping and grinding at the Club Paradise in 1960, Aretha Franklin and Coretta Scott King at the SCLC Convention in 1968, and Count Basie jamming with Billy Eckstine at the Hippodrome in 1953, and many more. No serious fan of blues, rock and roll, or soul can afford to be without this handsome photographic portrait of a whole world of American music. Text by Daniel Wolff.

An African American Pastor Before and During the American Civil War: The Literary Archive of Henry McNeal Turner

Product Description Product DescriptionHenry McNeal Turner was one of America's earliest black activists and social reformers. This book asserts the place of a lost voice within American and African American rhetorical history. Henry McNeal Turner lived a long and productive life with an astonishing myriad of careers: An ordained bishop, orator, newspaper editor and columnist, chaplain, politician, postal officer, janitor, publisher, author, and philosopher. Many admired him for his intelligence, tenacity, his religious fervor and commitment to social injustices in America. Turner was born a "free black" in New Berry Courthouse, South Carolina. His father died when he was quite young leaving his mother, Sarah, and maternal grandmother, Hannah Greer, to raise him. Even though he was born a free person, he nonetheless experienced the harsh realities of prejudice and racism. A poor, uneducated, black youngster growing up in the antebellum South with no father figure, Turner had every excuse for failure; instead, he went to work at an early age to help put food on the table. He worked alongside slaves and, in the winter months, labored in a blacksmith shop. This early exposure to the "real world" made him physically strong, and painfully aware of the inhumane treatment of blacks.
