Hedy West Old Times & Hard Times (CD)

(Folk-Legacy Records) 13 tracks

Hedy West is one of the best singers of the American folk song revival.
A native of North Georgia, her family were poor mountain farmers for generations, working small farms on the hillsides to earn what they needed to live. Hedy West is an outstanding representative of the most compelling and diverse musical tradition of the poor whites in the mountains of Georgia: no tricks, no imitations, no deceptions, just artistry and conviction.
