The September 14, 2012, edition of The Wall Street Journal includes Terry Teachout?s enthusiastic review of Stephen Wade?s new book The Beautiful Music All Around Us: Field Recordings and the American Experience.
?Following in Mr. [Alan] Lomax?s footsteps, Mr. Wade went back into the field to track down the descendants of 12 of the near-forgotten musicians who recorded for the Library of Congress between 1934 and 1942. He has turned his findings into an extraordinary book called The Beautiful Music All Around Us: Field Recordings and the American Experience that was published earlier this month by the University of Illinois Press. It?s a masterpiece of humane scholarship?but one that reads like a detective story.?
