Description

Leading folklorist Edward ''Sandy'' Ives illuminates the process of gathering songs, learning about their singers, and discovering their histories in this candid and revealing account. The folksongs in this collection are embedded in the cultural history of Prince Edward Island and in the rich, Celtic-influenced, local songmaking tradition. By focusing on local songmaking, Ives throws into relief the interplay between local and regional song traditions as well as the pull of history within a community poised on the cusp of tremendous change. Ives also explores the singing traditions carried forward in Canadian and American lumber camps of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A beautifully written work that addresses folksong through autobiographical memoir, ''Drive Dull Care Away'' offers fascinating insights into the life and work of a highly respected fieldworker and collector. A CD of Prince Edward Island songs, remastered from Ives's field tapes, accompanies the book.
