In honor of the 35th annual MerleFest coming up this week, American Songcatcher presents a very special LOCAL FOCAL - a relatively unknown live recording from May of 1989 of North Carolina's own Doc Watson, telling stories and singing songs passed through his family - only this show he was asked to perform without his guitar, until the very end. This concert was part of a historical series called Over Home, which aired on the well-known WNCW radio in Spindale, NC between 1988 and 1990. The show featured Western North Carolina traditional musicians and storytellers, and variety of musical styles, such as ballad singing, old-time fiddle tunes, Cherokee oral traditions and dances, and Irish jigs and reels, ghost stories, fox hunting tales, Civil War stories, and moonshine tales. This is unlike any of the episodes we've put out on American Songcatcher. There are no overdubs, no editing, just the seamless experience of Doc Watson, live, without his guitar.  Support American Songcatcher: Join the Patreon community Send a one-time donation via Venmo or PayPal Over Home Archive - Berea College WNCW  Southern Songs and Stories Podcast Over Home Credits: Hosted by Sheila Kay Adams and Taylor Barnhill Recorded by Sheila Kay Adams Engineered by WNCW and Burr Beard - Manager American Songcatcher Credits:Hosted and produced by Nicholas Edward Williams --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/americansongcatcher/support

Today, the tradition of ballad singing is alive and well in the North Carolina mountains thanks in part to Sheila Kay Adams, a seventh generation singer. Raised in the community of Sodom in Madison County, Adams learned from her great aunt Dellie Chandler Norton, sitting together and repeating the verses to each other knee-to-knee until the songs were “caught.”

DG Martin interviews Sheila Kay Adams - My Old True Love Author Sheila Kay Adams, a seventh-generation balladeer and native of Madison County, appears on UNC-TV’s weekly local literary series North Carolina Bookwatch to describe how she has turned the oral history of her family into a stunning debut novel. In Adam’s novel My Old True Love, the author yields a story inspired by her ancestors and ballads of the English, Scottish, and Irish. These long, sad stories of heartbreak and betrayal, violence and love, have been sung for generations by the descendents of those who settled the Appalachian Mountains in the 1700s. As they raised their children, the settlers taught them first to sing—as the songs seemed to tell the children everything they needed to know about life.
