Summary: "The isolated mountain hollows of Madison County provide the perfect environment to foster the preservation of ancient unaccompanied ballads. Over the last 100 years, these ballads have attracted folklorists, filmmakers, and photographers to the county's remote communities. Filmmakers Martha King and Rob Roberts tell the story of the tradition through the voices of the current generation of singers as well as through the films, photographs and recordings of John Cohen, Rob Amberg and Harvey Wang. Madison County project examines how both outside interest and the power of community and family have worked together to continue this unique tradition"--Container.
