North Carolina collectors Peter Honig and Sarah Bryan  a husband-and-wife team  have spent years combing the backroads  from deep in the Appalachian Mountains to the cotton and tobacco lowlands  in search of the evocative music and images of the pre-War South. The music of Lead Kindly Light (which borrows its name from a 1927 recording by the Loveless Twins Quartet) presents outstanding lesser-known recordings by early stars of recorded country music  as well as rarely and never-reissued treasures by obscure country  blues and gospel artists--46 recordings in all  recorded between 1924 and 1939  from the 78 RPM collection of Peter Honig. The images from Sarah Bryans vernacular photography collection  mainly pictures of the rural and small-town South found in the Carolinas  Virginia and Tennessee  are richly textured depictions of family life  work and leisure  and fine exemplars of the often accidental beauty of the vernacular snapshot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45914065305653,"sku":"ByrdShop_098173426X","price":241.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780981734262.jpg?v=1787332252","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/lead-kindly-light-prewar-music-photo-various-9780981734262","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
