LEARNING LINEAGE AND THE PROBLEM OF AUTHENTICITY IN OZARK FOLK MUSIC A Dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music The University of Mississippi by KEVIN L. THARP May 2020 Copyright Kevin L. Tharp 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Thorough examination of the existing research and the content of ballad and folk song collections reveals a lack of information regarding the methods by which folk musicians learn the music they perform. The centuries-old practice of folk song and ballad performance is well- documented. Many Child ballads and other folk songs have been passed down through the generations. Oral tradition is the principal method of transmission in Ozark folk music. The variants this method produces are considered evidence of authenticity. Although alteration is a distinguishing characteristic of songs passed down in the oral tradition, many ballad variants have persisted in the folk record for great lengths of time without being altered beyond recognition.

    FOLK-LEGACY . · · FSI-31 11/f I Could Be the Rain'' Rosalie Sorrels With Mitch Greenhill Notes by Rosalie Sorrels Recorded by Sandy Paton Copyright © 1967 FOLK-LEGACY RECORDS, INC. Sharon, Connecticut 06069 "IF I COULD BE THE RAIN" R 0 S A L I E S 0 R R E L S I started agon1z1ng over this introduction months ago. I always agonize over writing notes; it's just part of the price I have to pay for the fun of producing records. I enjoy recording people, but writing about what I have recorded, afterwards, has never been easy for me. I guess everyone has to carry his own particular cross, and this one's mine. Recording Rosalie and Mitch was a snap. All I had to do was set up the mikes, juggle them around a little until I felt good about the sound that was coming through, push the record button on the recorder, sit back and say "Go!" It was really beautiful; that musical thing that was happening between them just went ahead and happened. Even the editing was easy. No tricky splices were required; all I had to do was cue up at the start of the accepted take and chop it off when the song was over. Zip, zap, and there was Side 1, Band 1. But the notes? Well, after setting some sort of endurance record on the self-torture course, I slipped out via the always-convenient route of rationalization. If writing's my cross, finding ways to justi­ fy avoiding it is my genius.
