With his fellow American abolitionists LUCY MCKIM GARRISON (1842-1877) and CHARLES PICKARD WARE (1849-1921), Allen gathered songs from the post-slavery communities of Port Royal, South Carolina, to create this first published collection of African-American music. Among the 136 songs, included are: \"Roll, Jordan, roll\" \"Blow your trumpet, Gabriel\" \"The Lonesome Valley\" \"There's a meeting here to-night\" \"Hunting for the Lord\" \"Rain fall and wet Becca Lawton\" \"Jesus on the Waterside\" \"Build a house in Paradise\" and many others. A landmark work of music history, this is an essential text for anyone interested in American folk music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895984652576,"sku":"NEW1616403063","price":27.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/6157UWY2ioL.jpg?v=1782043949","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/slave-songs-of-the-united-states-1616403063","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
