INTRODUCTION (To ASF L1-9)
by Wayne D. Shirley
Reference Librarian, Music Division

In 1942 the Arehive of Folk Song in tbe Library of Congress issued its first albums of reeorded folk music, thereby making some of its rich collection of field recordings available to the public. The recordings were issued under the editorship of Alan Lomax, then head of the Archive. (The editing of the sixth album was entrusted to William N. Fenton.) Each album-they really were "albums" in those days--consisted of five 78-rpm records pressed in black shellac (the famous clear red vinyl was to come later). The albums patriotically mixed ten-inch and twelve-inch records-shellac was being rationed in 1942. The six albums in the series were planned to exhibit the main varieties of American folk music:

I. Anglo-American Ballads
II. Anglo-Ameriean Shanties, Lyric Songs, Dance Tunes and Spirituals
III. Afro-American Spirituals, Work Songs, and Ballads
IV. Afro-American Blues and Game Songs
V. Bahaman Songs, French Ballads and Dance Tunes, Spanish Religious Songs and Game Songs
VI. Songs from tbe Iroquois Longhouse.

Each album included a brochure with transcriptions of the texts sung on the reeords and notes on the music and performers. Attempts to devise some method for distributing the Archive's recorded treasures had begun in 1941 with the establishment of the Recording Laboratory in the Library of Congress. The press release announcing the establishment of the Recording Laboratory claimedthatwhen the installation is completed the Music Division of the Library will be able to provide for schools,libraries, and individuals, recordings of American folk music, American poetry read and interpreted by its makers, unpublished string quartets, new American musIc and other similar matenals. Much of this material stands ready for use on the shelves of theLibrary now-records of American folk music frommany parts of the country, documents basic to the history and culture of America and of the world musical manuscripts of composers, ancient and modern. Only students who are free to come to the Library or people who can afford to have expensive copies made, now use the Library's vast collection. To the great majority of citizens this material is accessible only through the books of research students and occasional radio broadcasts. The new sound service in the Library can make a great part of it available onphonograph records to the general public. Librarian of Congress Archibald MacLeish was more eloquent in his proposal to the Carnegie Corporation, whose grant made possible the establIshment of the Recording Laboratory:

I cannot strongly express to you my own conviction that such a program would be a most important force in the life of this country at this moment. It seems to me that we can either educate the American people as to the value of their cultural heritage and their national civilization, or sit back and walch the destruction and disintegration of that culture and that civilization by forces now so ruinously active in this world. The establishment of the Recording Laboratory made it possible for people to request the duplication of specific sound recordings. In addition, the Library published recordings in an attempt to get some of the Archive's material to the person who was interested in sampling its holdings without having a specific item in mind -the auditory equivalent of the library patron who just "wants a good book." As a trial balloon for the project in 1941 the Friends of Music in the Library of Congress issued an album of two ten-inch records consisting of "Lady of Carlisle" sung by Basil May, "Pretty Polly" sung by Pete Steele, "It Makes a Long Time Man Feel Bad"-the archetypal Library of Congress folksong title-sung by "a group of Negro convicts," and "O Lord, Don' 'low Me to Beat 'em," sung, spoken, and cursed by Willie Williams.

The next year the Archive of Folk Song albums which are the subject of this essay appeared. In 1956, at the time of their first issue, the LPs were direct transfers from the 78s as issued Friends of Music album was combined with that on the first of the Archive of Folk Song albums to make the record now known as AFS 1.1. This allowed those who wanted to buy a longplaying version of the Friends of Music album to purchase a single record, but did creatc a few anomalies: as it is now constituted Ll contains two versions of "Pretty Polly" and presents Willie Williams and "group of convicts" under the banner of "Anglo-American Ballads." In 1956, at the time of their first issue, the LPs were direct transfers from the 78s as issued in 1942. At this time the records were renumbered: six albums numbered from I to VI containing records numbered from 1 to 30 became AFS Ll through 1.6. The brochures which had been prepared for the 78-rpm albums continued to be used with the LPs. This caused some confusion as the record number in the brochure no longer corresponded to the actual number of the item on the record. During the years 1964 to 1966 the six LPs were remastered from the original field recordings; these remastered discs occasionally included alternate "takes" from those used on the original 78s. The remastering project also allowed the engineers to present complete versions of several cuts which had before appeared only as excerpts. Consequently the transcriptions of these songs in the brochures no longer accurately reflected the words on the records.

This was one of the several considerations which led to the present revision of the textual material accompanying the recordings. The recordings themselves, though now numbered AFS I through 6 rather than AAFS 1 through 6 (reflecting the change of name of the issuing body from Archive of American Folk Song to Archive of Folk Song), have not been changed since the 1960s remastering. The current republication furnishes all six records with new covers and a new sleeve note, supplies the present historical introduction, renumbers the notes on the selections to correspond to the numbering on the LP labels, and revises the transcriptions to include all the text contained on the LP. Otherwise the brochures read as they did when they first appeared in 1942. We have even hesitated to change transcriptions when our ears hear something dir..: ferent than did those of the original transcriber. This is partly attributable to cowardice. Revising such transcripts as those of Mrs. Ball's nonsense syllables on AFS 1.2, A7 ("Jennie Jenkins") or the ring-shout of AFS 1.3, A7 ("Run, Old Jeremiah") is not a task one views with enthusiasm. But our decision was based partly on common sense. After all, Alan Lomax heard most of these people in person and singing many songs, while we only hear them for a single song and on a record.

Three decades later it is useful to look at these pioneering issues of recorded folk music and consider the assumptions-conscious and unconscious-that went into their production. Some of these assumptions have colored subsequent Library record issues up to the present day; others were not meant to apply to any but the first issues. Still, all of them played a part in the creation of the image of the Library of Congress folk music record, and somenotably numbcr 3 below-played an important part in its development. H~re arc some of these assumptions, more or less in descending order of importance:

1. The Library of Congress recordings were designed as a method of making the wealth of field recordings housed in the Archive of American Folk Song available to the public. They were-and have remained-rccordines of material from field recordings ill the Archive. (In 1976 the Library of Congress began a complementary series of recordings, Folk Music in America. editcd by Richard K. Spollswood, which drew on commcrcial recordings and field collections other than those in the Archive, as well as an occasional irresistible Archivc field recording.) This explains many of the questions asked about the Archive's series of folk music recordings, including the perennial "Why doesn't the Library of Congress issue a jazz series as well as a folk music series?" The answer: the field recordings of the Folk Archive did not, in the 1940s contain sufficient and sufficiently trenchant jazz material to undertake such a series. As the Archive's carliest field recordings were done in the late thirties and early forties in rural areas-see number 5 below-they would not have picked up much important jazz besides the roots-of-thc-blues material so ably represented on L3, L4, and their successors. The Jelly Roll Morton recordings, the one important set of jazz "field" recordings in the Archive during the early 1940s (if we can call a set of recordings made in the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Auditorium "field recordings") were commercially viable and would thus come under the interdiction of number 3 below-as would, indeed, most jazz.

2. Since the purpose of the record series was to make the treasures of the Archive available to the general public, the choice of individual performances was made to some extent on the basis of beauty of performance rather than its use for folklore scholarship. These were the performances that the Lomaxes wanted to share with the world. Not all of the performances are by otherwise unknown singers and instrumentalists caught for a brief moment by the microphone of the Library of Congress. Many arc by people who cven then were fairly well-known folk performers: Mrs. Texas Gladden, thc sally radical Aunt Molly Jackson, honey-voiced Vera Hall, harmonica man Sonny Tcrry, and even Woody Guthrie. There are also less widcly known musicians, from the anonymous little girls of "Ain't Gonna Ring [Rain?] No More" and the pseudonymous "Lightning"-who would not give John A. Lomax his real name-to such people as Jimmie Strothers, the gentle axe murderer who is known only through his Folk Archive recordings. But it cannot be claimed that every cut of L1 through LS makes articulate a voice that would otherwise have remained unheard save by those living within a few miles of the singer. This is not to suggest that the carly Library of Congress records sacrificed authenticity for easy listening. Thcy are American folk music pure from the fount. Still, thc ncwcomer to these records should bc warned that Wadc Ward, to give an example, is not the undiscovered hill-dweller of the cartoons ("Hey, Paw, here comes the man from the Library of Congress with that machine"). By 1942 he had already been broadcast nationwide on the American School of the Air.

3. The third assumption is the inversc of the second. It has been thc policy of the Library of Congress not to compete in its publications with commercial companies. The recordings put out by the Folk Archive mirror this policy, none more clearly than the first six. The folk wisdom of the Music Division has it that in 1942 Lomax and Harold Spivacke, then chief of the Music Division, were advised that it might be unwise for the Library's record series to issue any record which could profitably be released commcrcially. Many of the well-known "Library of Congress recordings" that generations of record buyers have treasured have not, in fact, been released by the Library, but have been released on commercial labels frol11 material recorded by or at the Library of Congress; thus the Archivc has been able to get its treasurcs into circulation withoUl competing with commercial record labels. A few highlights of commercial recordings made from material at the Library of Congress include the Jelly Roll Morton interviews on Riverside, the Bartok-Szigeti recital on Vanguard, Blind Willie McTeLI on Piedmont, Aunt Molly Jackson on Roundcr, Budapest String Quartet broadcasts on Odyssey, and the more or Icss complete works of Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter and Woody Guthrie on Elektra. Few of the performances in the Folk Archive's collections in 1942 would have been considered to have commercial value in that ycar. Still, the attempt not to compete with regular record companies may explain why, in a series of records leaning heavily on black convict songs, there is nothing by the Lomax's most famous discovery, Leadbelly. By 1942 his recordings had appeared on the commercial market on more than one label. What was not commercial in 1942 was not to be forever uncommercial. Several of the artists appearing on the Archive's first issues recorded commercially later (Sonny Terry, of L4, even shows up on the original cast album of Finian's Rainbow), and one, McKinley "Muddy Waters" Morganfield, who sings "Country Blues" and "I Be's Troubled" on L4, is now recognized as a major commercial artist with a considerable discography. The first three attitudes discussed have concerned the general philosophy of the Library of Congress folk music recordings. The remaining considerations apply particularly to AFS Ll through L5 (L6, the Indian recording, being a special case).

4. The recordings are predominantly southern. The Lomax's collecting for the Library was done predominantly in the South; the South was thus the main source for the Library's folk collection. The first two albums, however, contained some material recorded in such nonsouthern locations as Rhinelander, Wisconsin, and Visalia, California, while the sixth album was recorded in New York and Ontario. So the records as they were issued proclaim their southern bias orily by the note "recorded in Southern U.S." on L3 and U. The southern accent of the first Library of Congress recordings probably reflects the earliest experiences of the Lomax family, which began in Texas and spread east through the southern states, but it also reflects the practical neccssities of folk-music collecting: better fish one section of the pond than spread your net too thin. (During their lives the Lomaxes, particularly Alan, were to spread their nets very widely indeed.) The next two aspects, interrelated, do represent the Lomax family's attitudes, attitudes widely shared among earlier folk music collectors but increasingly challenged by" more recent collectors.

5. The sources of the recordings are exclusively rural.

6. The records are dedicated to the preservation of the old songs and styles of the folk, principally interpreted by older musicians, with little attempt to document the new styles and songs that werc emerging. The next-to-Iast cut of L2, complete with Hawaiian guitar, for example, is offered as a single sample of "American folk music, 1942." The view of the folksong as a rural and old, and therefore dying, art remains common to this day. In the 1940s therc was a particular feeling that radio and the phonograph were wiping out our folk heritage, which was to be found in its most vital form where the electric power line had not-or had only recently-penetrated. At that time, a few folklorists were only beginning to discover the folk music of the city, with its multiple ethnic strains; and several of the new-fangled styles that the Lomaxes did not record are now respectable styles whose origins might well have shown up on these records. A third of a century after their release we can see that the rural and old-style bias of the early Library of Congress folk music recordings provided something less than the full range of American folk music. From the perspective of the year they were released, howcver, they are an amazing document of taste, courage, and confidence. To have released in 1942 a record of Anglo-American ballads only two of which had the comforting accompaniment of a guitar was to invite instant rejection by the general listener, who usually likes his folk music with the harmonies explained. The faith of Alan Lomax and Harold Spivacke that the authentic voice of folk music could be accepted by the American people is, placed in proper perspective, far more important to consider than any "bias" the records might have. If today we notc what the records omit it is partl y because they have become so much the archetypal set of folk music records that one is conscious of their limits. or, occasionally, unconscious. (The present writer grew up in New Hampshire under the impression that New Hampshire had no folk music, since none of it appeared on Library of Congress records.)

7. "The labourer is worthy of his hire." The Library of Congress was careful to get permission from all locatable performers and to pay them for releasing their performances. The fee was nominal-around ten dollars per song-but for a series of records dedicated to commercial unacceptability (number 3 above) it was a pledge of faith to the artists whose work had been used. The efforts to locate singers were heroic; but sometimes even the U.S. government had to give up. A 1942 Alan Lomax memo, "Report on Clearances," tells many stories of his attempts to secure clearances, including this one about the Bahamas records: One of the singers on this record lives on the remote Cat Island of the Bahamas chain. She was written on April 17, 1942. and so far no reply has been obtained; perhaps none ever will. The only other Bahaman singer who has been located was found because the assau postmaster published a notice in the newspaper announcing that he had a leiter for him. There is no newspaper within 500 miles of Cat Island. Some people felt that ten dollars was not enough. Again, from the "Report on Clearances":

This party asked for a fifteen per-cent royalty; and so we have dropped the side, substituting an even beller one by a performer who has been very cooperative in the past. A leller has gone to this performer, and a reply should be expected wilhin a very few days.

If the first performer meant 15 percent of the profits by his request for a "fiftcen per-cent royalty,?' he would have donc belter to stick with the ten dollars. But at least one performer was pleased with his payment. In a recent intcrview Muddy Waters recalled, "the Library of Congress sent me $10.00 a side and that $20.00 went a long way, as far as a hundred dollars goes today" (Unicorn Times, April 1978, p. 40). Sometimes denominational problems may have hindered the obtaining of permission: These two items were recorded with (he collaboration of three Negro ministers. After a month of correspondence, I discovered that it was necessary for all three 10 be consulted on the matter of the release of these two items. On May 8, 1942, I wrote all three again. explaining the situation; so far I have received no reply. I shall wire again today for a definite yes or no answer.

Apparently no answer was received, for another performance was substituted for the performances involving the three ministers' permission. The substituted piece was Willie Williams singing "The New Buryin' Ground": it is therefore hard to regret the ministers' recalcitrance.

Lomax summed up the trials of getting clearances for the first six albums of the Archive series at the end of this report: This matter of locating a hundred old folk singers all the way from Cat Island 10 the Colorado bulles and back has been an epic chase. It is an experience that I have enjoyed but that I am not anxiolls to repeat soon.

If Lomax was not anxious to repeat the expericncc soon, the Folk Archive was fully prepared to keep up its searches: the second set of six albums, under the general editorship of B. A. Botkin, appeared one year after the initial six. Eventually, the rigorous seeking of permissions became less exhaustive and exhausting. Payments are held in escrow for performers who appear at new locations after their performances are released. The first six albums issucd by the Archivc of American Folk Song have become documents almost as much as the music they sought to preserve. They are still as capable as ever of giving pleasure, instruction, and sustenance to the listener who comes to them for the music they contain. By now, however, they also serve as witness to the state of folk-music collection in the 1930s-both as to the sound quality of thc records produced and the altitudes toward collecting of the gatherers-and to the manner in which this material was presented to the general public in the I940s. Few people who carc for folk music would suggest that these six albums be retired for obsolescence-though we do get abou t three letters a year suggesting that if we cannot issue records with better audio quality than these we should get out of the business, and an occasional letter suggesting that anyone who would put out a record entitled [fill in title of any onc of the albums] without including an example of [fill in any currently fashionable folk-derived style] is guilty of deceiving the pUblic. There have been suggestions, however, that we revise the printed material accompanying these records, either to bring it up to the current standards of ethnomusicological writing or to bring it in line with current raciaI attitudes. Against this proposal is the fact that most of the annotations on these records were made by the people who pointed the microphone at the singers and said "sing." This has seemed more germane to our purposes than folkloric or sociological upto-dateness-what is up-to-date in the 1970s may be passe in the 1990s, but AAFS 1 through 6 will be 1933 through 1942 forever. So we have added this historical note and reproduced the original annotations substantially as they were written in 1942. They are still good reading; by now they are history as well.
