about

Betty Smith was an educator and folksinger originally from Rowan County, North Carolina. As the folk revival was reaching its height in the 1960s with its focus on Appalachian music, Smith realized many of the songs she heard played were the same songs she learned as a child. Inspired to play this repertoire herself, she took to the folk-festival circuit, establishing herself as an authentic performer from the mountains of North Carolina. On this record, Smith plays a selection of traditional Appalachian songs sung in a pure, unaffected style, accompanying herself on guitar, dulcimer, and psaltery.
