Old Regular Baptists: Lined-Out Hymnody from Southeastern Kentucky

Indian Bottom Association, Old Regular Baptists
Old Regular Baptists: Lined-Out Hymnody from Southeastern Kentucky

The oldest English-language religious music in oral tradition in North America, the lined-out, congregational hymnody of the Old Regular Baptists, is heard in the heart of the coal-mining country of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. This music of worship once was the common way of singing sacred song in the American Colonies. In this rare and beautiful music lies the roots of the high, lonesome mountain sound of elaborate melodic turns and graces. A descriptive booklet provides perspectives on the people, their beliefs and practices, their history and theology, and their music.

This album was inducted into the Library of Congress National Recording Registry in 2014.
