voices of appalachia

Appalachia has produced some of the most beautiful and haunting folk music this country has ever known, and this thorough tribute page to the region's protest songwriters is a terrific site for anyone looking for biographical information or reference material on such artists as Hazel Dickens, Sarah Ogan Gunning, and Jean Ritchie. Although some of the profiles on this site have yet to be completed, there's still a wealth of material here--a wonderful repository on the some of the leading figures who continue to bring us "hard hitting songs for hard hit people."
