That High Lonesome Sound

Embrace traditional American music with these three short documentaries from musician and filmmaker John Cohen. "That High Lonesome Sound" (1963) follows Kentucky bluegrass singer-guitarist Roscoe Holcomb. "The End of an Old Song" (1973) profiles one of the last remaining balladeers, Dillard Chandler. Finally, "Sara and Maybelle" (1981) reunites two members of the Carter Family, who recorded hundreds of songs between the 1920s and 1940s. This collection is a touching portrait of important figures in the American music tradition.
