インタビューに答えているのは、次の人々です。
Bill Monroe / James Monroe / Jake Landers / Ralph Stanley / Keith Whitley / Jack Cooke / Jesse McReynolds / Jimmy Martin / Lester Flatt / Bob Osbone / Sonny Osborne / Charlie Waller / John Duffey / John Staring / Red Allen / Peter Rowan / Mike Seeger / Alice Gerrard / Hazel Dickens
楽曲は、メロディ譜と、歌詞からなります。 メロディ譜は特殊なタブ譜で書かれおり、ギター（あるいはバンジョー）の２弦３弦４弦（ＢＧＤ）に相当する３線上にフレット番号を置いて音程を表しています。コードも振られています。
メロディ譜のみで、ハーモニー・パートや楽器のパートは書かれていませんが、ソングブックとしては十分な内容だと思います。

各楽曲は、歌詞と、楽譜から構成されています。 楽譜は二段で組まれ、上段がボーカルパートを表す通常の五線譜。下段がギターの伴奏タブ譜となっています。ボーカルパートはリードだけでなく、ハーモニーパートも記されています。
楽曲のクレジットもきちんと書かれており、これをクリアして出版したというのは、大変な努力をされたのではないでしょうか。 選曲は、やや、偏っていて、ラルフ・スタンレー、カントリー・ジェントルメン、リリー・ブラザーズが中心のようです。

上の本と楽曲の重複がないと表紙には書いてありますが、実際には、結構重複しています。 一応、タイトルが異なり、歌詞も違うので、重複しても損だとは感じませんでした。
選曲の範囲は広がっていて、ブルーグラス以外の曲も、ブルーグラスバンドが演奏するような曲ならば入れているようです。

彼らは、戦前のオールドタイム音楽の、復元演奏をしていたのですが、その活動のひとつとしての出版物ということになります。従って、彼らのレパートリとなっている楽曲が掲載されています。
実に多くの楽曲が、豊富な写真と丁寧な説明文とともに掲載されており、２５６ページにもなる力作です。
楽曲は、歌詞と譜面から構成され、譜面は基本的には五線譜でボーカルが記されています。曲によっては、ボーカルのハーモニー・パートや、楽器の演奏譜、タブ譜が付けられています。楽器のパートは曲全体に及ぶことはなく、特徴的な部分のみを取り上げているようです。

シーガー兄弟の一人、ペギー・シーガーさんのソング・ブックです。ペギーさんは兄のマイクさんと組んで数多くのオールドタイム風味の演奏をしていました。後年は、イギリス人のイワン・マッコールさんと結婚し、夫婦で活動をしていました。
取り上げられている曲は、オールドタイムの曲ですが、あくまでも、ペギーさんのレパートリーということで、私家バージョンになっているものもあります（Man of Constant Sorrow ⇒ Girl of Constant Sorrow など）。譜面は、五線譜で歌のパートのみ。歌詞付き。１曲ごとに凝った解説が付いています。ペギーさんの楽器の腕前もすごいので、楽器のパート譜も付いていればと、惜しまれます。

これを見ると、ほとんどの方が Vass 姓ですから、Vass ファミリー・ソングブックといったほうが良いかもしれません。
各楽曲は丁寧な解説、歌詞、楽譜からなります。楽譜は五線譜で、バラッドですから、ボーカル譜です。一応、コードが振られています。

各楽曲は、歌詞と、五線譜の楽譜が掲載されています。この本の特徴は、楽譜にハーモニー・パートが記載されていることです。本の体裁も大きく、楽譜も見易い楽譜で、コードも振られています。
取り上げられているプレーヤーは、Carter Family / Mainers / Stanley Bros. / Woody Guthrie and Cisco Houston / Rosa and Doc Watson / Pete Seeger and Jack Elliott / Staple Singers で、いわゆるオールド・タイム、ブルーグラスから、「フォーク」の人までというのが、出版当時の「フォーク」な音楽状況を表しているような気がします。

１９１６年に出版された本のドーバー社によるリプリント版です。セシル・シャープさんは英米系の民謡（フォークソング）の研究家、収集家として知られた人だそうです。巻頭には、４ページほどのアウトラインと、２７ページもの量の楽曲解説(ノート）が置かれています。
楽譜は、ボーカル用の１段に、ピアノ用の二段譜を添えたものです。伴奏にピアノを使っているところなど、大いに怪しげです。現在ならば、ピアノ譜などつけないでしょうが、当時としては、仕方の無かったことなのかも知れません。ピアノ譜をつけないと、そもそも、楽譜が出版できない状況もあったのかもしれません。
ピアノ譜は言語道断として、ボーカル譜の方は歌詞も全て楽譜の下に書かれいて、歌詞の譜割で悩まされないのは、嬉しいです。

１９０５年（？）に出版された本のドーバー社によるリプリントです。巻頭には、概要と、ゲール語と英語の対応表が付いています。
この本も、ボーカル譜と、ピアノ大譜表の組み合わせ。ピアノの伴奏譜は、不要だと思いますが、当時の事情なのでしょう。ボーカルの信頼性はどんなものでしょうか。和声によって捻じ曲げられたりしていないのかしら？などと、心配になります。
とはいえ、貴重な資料です。曲の歌詞もすべて、ボーカル譜の下に書かれているは、やはり、嬉しいです。

各楽曲は、五線譜のメロディ譜と、歌詞、それに、ギターブレークを記した五線譜とタブ譜からなる二段譜で構成されています。一部の楽曲は、ボーカル譜とギター譜がまとめてあります。
取り上げられているスタイルも、フォーク・シーンに登場する人たちのスタイルが中心のようです。 ソング・ブックというより、ギターのチュートリアル的な要素も大きく、オルタネート・ベースのフィンガ・ピッキング、ブギのストライド、高音三連のブレークなどが手際よくまとめられています。

各曲は総譜形式＋タブ譜（バンジョーの場合）で、ボーカルも楽器もすべて書かれているので、この通り演奏すれば曲になるというものです。
バンジョーの教則本つきというのも、なかなか、面白く、日本語のバンジョーの教本というと、当時は、これと、ピート・シーガーの本の訳本ぐらいしか無かったように記憶しています。
バンジョーの教本は、かなり微妙で、おそらく、滅多に使わないＧｍ、Ｄｍ、Ｃｍチューニングが取り上げられていたり（たぶん、Ｇ、Ｄ、Ｃチューニングのバリエーションということでしょう）、ドリア・チューニング、ヒポ・フリギア・チューニングという、教会旋法の名前をつけてみたりしています。ブルーグラス・バンジョー（スリー・フィンガー）も取り上げられていますが、かなり、壮絶な内容で、練習曲や、アレンジは絶句してしまうような超絶フィンガリングです。
時代が時代だということで、その時代を感じさせる本で読んでいて楽しいです。
