Review
Without Lomax it’s possible that there would have been no blues explosion, no R&B movement, no Beatles and no Stones and no Velvet Underground.”
—Brian Eno
No one has come close to Alan Lomax in illuminating the intersecting musical roots of an extraordinary range of cultures, including our own.”
—Nat Hentoff
If not for Lomax, few people would have heard Tom Dooley’ or Goodnight Irene’ and Bob Zimmerman might be singing Feelings’ at Holiday Inns around Hibbing, Minnesota.”
—Newsweek
