Editor's introduction.
[The] difference between white and black Appalachians ... lies in visibility vs. invisibility.
--Allen 1974, 42
[Black Appalachian music has] as yet hardly been touched by serious documentation and analysis.
--Whisnant 1977, 108
There is no such thing as "Appalachian music." There are instead a wide variety of instrumental and vocal styles made by Appalachian musicians ... all of which have exhibited the eclectic and steadily evolving nature of life in the mountains. The music is diverse because the culture in which it evolved is diverse. It exhibits the influence of many ethnic and racial groups ... the interaction of city and rural forms and the changing economic patterns of the Southern mountains."
--Malone 2004, 115

Various genres (blues, jazz, rhythm and blues) are examined, and two exceptional black musicians (Ida Cox and James Brown) are given more in-depth treatment.
