Synopsis

An established source for words and music to popular tunes, folk songs, hymns, spirituals, sea chanteys, and blues. The main volume (1975) indexes 301 song collections published between 1940 and 1972. The First Supplement (1978) indexes 72 collections published from 1970 to 1975. This Second Supplement covers song books published from 1974 to 1981 and picks up a few titles published in the 1950s and 1960s. The arrangement is identical to the preceding volume: a bibliography of 156 books; index by title, first line of song, and first line of chorus; and a composer and lyricist index.

...copious 'see' references and a high level of accuracy remain a part of this set's usefulness. Havlice has earned a place alongside Sear's, De Charm's, Leigh's, and Diehl's related indexes.--Library Journal

...will be useful in public and music libraries of all sizes...--Reference Book Review
