Jean Ritchie - British Traditional Ballads Southern Mountains 1 Format:CD and tantalizing phantasmagoriaTen years after British scholar Cecil J. Sharp declared the traditional English ballad a "moribund" art form, he discovered a rich and thriving tradition of ballad singing in America's southern Appalachian Mountains.
