Folkstreams.net: Remembering the High Lonesome

Picture of Roscoe Holcomb by John Cohen.
The mission of Folkstreams.net is to build a national preserve of documentary films about American folk or roots culture. Produced by independent filmmakers, these hard-to-find films give voice to the arts and experience of diverse American groups. Folkstreams.net makes these films easy to find and to see by video-streaming them on the Internet, and also provides in-depth and reliable contextual materials about the subjects and the filmmaking.
Remembering the High Lonesome is the story of the making of a classic documentary film. It is also a profile of filmmaker, photographer, artist, and musician John Cohen. Through interviews, as well as Cohen's own photographs and scenes from his classic film The High Lonesome Sound: Kentucky Mountain Music, filmmaker Tom Davenport focuses on Cohen's journey to rural Kentucky in the 1950s to document the lives of the people there and his "discovery" of the musician Roscoe Holcomb.

There is No Eye: Photographs by John Cohen is a retrospective display of Cohen's work which was on display at the University of Greensboro's Weatherspoon Art Museum this month.

Folk Music Index

GCIDE_XML
The Folk Music Index is an index to recordings of tunes and songs from traditional and contemporary sources. At present the database lists mostly recordings, but now also includes some of the major song collections and tune folios. The recordings indexed generally have a major emphasis on tradition based material from both commercial and non-commercial performers, including a considerable amount of old-time fiddle and banjo tunes. Although most of the recordings included are vinyl LP's, many have been reissued in both cassette and CD format and out of print material can often be found in both public and university libraries.
