“These are many of our most cherished songs, part of our collective musical DNA", Lomax III added. ”It’s an honor and a thrill to bring them back to public attention, in new musical settings”.
This fresh contribution adds to the Lomax Legacy, the most important music family in America spanning 148 years and five generations. Collectively, the family has so far created 52 books, written thousands of newspaper and magazine articles and contributed to hundreds more sound recordings.
